| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Islamic shahada in three lines of Kufic-influenced Arabic script, reading 'There is no god but God, alone, without partner; Muhammad is the Messenger of God.' The inscription is set within a plain border, typical of Abbasid-style dirhams adopted by regional dynasties. The legends are boldly struck, though the flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hammered coinage of the period. No figural imagery is present, reflecting the aniconic tradition of Islamic numismatics. |
