| Obverse description | Struck in hammered silver, the obverse bears a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged within the field in characteristic Ilkhanid calligraphic style. The legend reads the Christian Trinitarian formula adapted into Arabic script, proclaiming the unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The script is rendered in a bold, angular hand consistent with late 13th-century Georgian-Ilkhanid coinage conventions. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, as typical of contemporary hammered issues. No figural imagery is present; the design is entirely epigraphic. |
