| Obverse description | Central field bears a three-line Arabic religious inscription within a simple linear square frame, characteristic of early Abbasid fals coinage. The inscription declares the shahada in abbreviated form. The surrounding flat field is plain and undecorated. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of hammered copper coinage of the period. The overall style is austere and purely epigraphic, reflecting Abbasid aniconic numismatic convention. |
