| Obverse description | Central field bearing bold Arabic calligraphic inscriptions arranged in multiple horizontal lines within a rectangular frame, typical of Mongol-era Islamic coinage. The legend is set against a plain field with additional marginal inscriptions encircling the central panel. The epigraphy, executed in a somewhat angular Kufic-influenced style, carries the ruler's name and titulature. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hammered medieval Islamic silver coinage. The overall style reflects the Chagatai Khanate's adoption of Abbasid-derived coin typology. |
