| Beschrijving voorzijde | Sasanian-style bust of the ruler facing right, depicted in the tradition of the late Sasanian kings, wearing an elaborate mural crown with wings and crescent finial, with detailed beaded necklace and draped robes. The effigy is rendered in low relief in the characteristic Arab-Sasanian manner, with stylized facial features including a beard. Flanking the bust are attendant figures with raised hands in a devotional gesture. A circular beaded border frames the design, with a Pahlavi marginal legend surrounding the central motif, accompanied by an Arabic religious inscription in the field reading 'Bismillah Muhammad Rasul Allah'. |

Arab-Sasanian coinage of Egypt occupies a narrow transitional window — governors striking in a debased Sasanian idiom before the reformed Islamic coinage of 696–698 AD swept the type into obsolescence. 'Abd al-Malik b. 'Abd Allah governed Egypt under Caliph 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan, whose monetary reform would ultimately make issues like this one redundant within a decade. The governor's name appearing on the coin places the striking authority locally rather than at the Caliphal center, a distinction that matters for attribution.
