| Obverse description | Stylized bust facing right in the Sasanian tradition, rendered in a debased provincial manner characteristic of Arab-Khwarezm coinage. The portrait is surrounded by a circular border with marginal inscriptions or decorative elements in the field. The overall execution reflects the local Arab-Khwarizmian adaptation of earlier Sasanian royal imagery. |
