| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a six-pointed star (Star of David / hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, rendered in the characteristic Artuqid geometric style with beaded borders along the star's inner edges. Arabic inscription in multiple lines occupies the central hexagonal zone of the star, containing the ruler's name and titles. The triangular points of the star extend toward a beaded circular border, with additional Arabic legends or decorative elements filling the spaces between the star's points and the coin's periphery. |
