| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal lines within a plain inner border. The legend occupies the majority of the flan and contains the religious formula and the name of the issuing authority. The central inscription is enclosed by a circular marginal legend in Kufic script running along the periphery of the coin. The overall style is characteristic of Abbasid-influenced provincial coinage of the 3rd century AH, with flat relief and somewhat irregular flan edges typical of hammered copper issues. |
