| Obverse description | Roman-style draped bust facing right, rendered in the Zengid imitative tradition borrowing from Byzantine or late Roman prototypes. The effigy is depicted in low relief on an irregular flan, with summary facial features characteristic of 12th-century Islamic hammered coinage. An Arabic inscription encircles the central figure in the surrounding field, serving as the primary epigraphic element identifying the issuing ruler. |
