| Obverse description | Central field bears the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada) in multiple lines of angular Kufic-influenced Arabic script: 'La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lahu Muhammad rasul Allah' (There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah). The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers filling the central field. The legend is enclosed within a double-beaded circular border. The hammered flan displays characteristic irregular edges typical of Ilkhanid coinage of this period. |
