| Obverse description | Fully epigraphic type struck in hammered copper, featuring a multi-line Kufic Arabic field legend arranged in five horizontal registers within a plain border. The central field bears the shahada and the name and titles of the Abbasid caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah, Commander of the Faithful. The marginal legend, partially legible, records the mint name Ahar and the regnal date. The bold, angular Kufic script is characteristic of northwestern Iranian provincial coinage of the early 13th century. |
