| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription naming the ruler al-Nasir Salah al-Din Yusuf (Saladin), flanked by decorative arabesques above and below. The inscription is contained within a raised circular border of pellets, with a marginal legend running along the inner edge of the coin. The die is struck on an irregular flan typical of Ayyubid hammered coinage, with some areas of flat strike. The overall style reflects the epigraphic tradition of Islamic bronze coinage of the late 12th century. |
