| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious and honorific legend arranged in horizontal bands across the flan, executed in angular Kufic-influenced script typical of Seljuk coinage. The inscription is set within a plain inner border, surrounded by a dotted or beaded outer border partially visible along the irregular coin edge. The die-work reflects the characteristic hammered style of Anatolian Seljuk silver production, with slightly uneven strike distribution across the flan. No figural imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. The lettering includes titles and epithets associated with Sultan Kaykhusraw II. |
