| Obverse description | Central field bears a four-line Arabic religious or titular inscription enclosed within a lobated square border, itself set within a double circle. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs along the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular striking. The overall design follows the classical Ghurid epigraphic style, with bold Kufic or Naskhi letterforms. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan shape typical of hammered medieval Islamic dirhams. |
