| Aversbeschreibung | Central field dominated by an elaborate interlaced 'barbed trefoil' ornament — a distinctive geometric knot composed of three interlocking lobed arcs with barbed terminals — executed in high relief within a plain inner circle. The motif is flanked by small foliate or pellet elements in the surrounding field. A dotted or beaded border encircles the design, with additional scattered pellets visible in the outer field. The overall design is purely decorative and non-figural, reflecting the aniconic artistic tradition of Shaddadid coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, typical of hammered silver production of this period. |

The Shaddadids were a Kurdish dynasty who controlled Ganja — a major commercial hub on the routes connecting the Caucasus to Iran — and their coinage reflects the fractured political geography of the mid-eleventh century, when Seljuk pressure was steadily dismantling the smaller principalities of the region. Shawur ibn al-Fadl ruled as the dynasty's last significant independent figure before Seljuk encroachment rendered Shaddadid authority nominal at best.
The 'barbed trefoil' attribution in Lowick's Ganja corpus distinguishes this type from the broader A/1492 grouping by a specific ornamental device used as a field marker — a rare enough occurrence to anchor die studies for the reign.
