| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a three-line Arabic legend in bold, somewhat cursive Naskh script, reading 'al-Sultan al-Adil / Berdi Beg Khan / atala Allah mulkahu' (The Just Sultan / Berdi Beg Khan / may God prolong his reign). The lettering is raised in high relief against a flat, unadorned field characteristic of hammered Golden Horde coinage. No border or decorative frame is present, and the legends extend close to the irregular flan edge. The die workmanship is typical of mid-14th-century Jochid mints, with robust, slightly irregular letterforms. |
