| Obverse description | Stylized solar face (sunface) depicted frontally at center, rendered in a bold, schematic Kufic-influenced artistic style typical of Caucasian Islamic coinage of the period. The face is enclosed within a circular border formed by interlaced or foliate decorative elements. Surrounding the central motif, a Kufic legend occupies the field, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The overall design reflects the syncretic artistic traditions of the Shaddadid dynasty, blending Iranian and Islamic iconographic conventions. |
