| Obverse description | Struck in the hammered tradition on an irregular flan, the obverse displays the Duwa tamgha countermark prominently applied over the original host coin's surface. The countermark, characteristic of the Chagatai Khanate under Khan Duwa (r. 1282–1307), appears as a distinctive dynastic symbol struck into the field. Underlying Arabic legends from the original host coin remain partially visible beneath and around the countermark impression. The flan shows typical irregular edges and surface irregularities consistent with medieval Central Asian silver dirhams. The overall strike is bold despite the worn and irregular planchet. |
