| Obverse description | Central field depicts a mounted archer in full gallop to the left, the rider twisting in the saddle to discharge an arrow to the right in the classic Parthian shot pose. Beneath the horse, a hare flees to the right, serving as the quarry of the hunt. The composition is rendered in a schematic but energetic style characteristic of Mongol-period hammered coinage. A Turkic-language legend in Arabic script frames the design along the upper periphery, reading 'Chief of the Great Mongol Nation.' |
