| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a geometric star or polygonal frame, a characteristic Artuqid compositional device. The legend reads the honorific titles and name of the ruler Najm al-Din Ghazi II ibn Qara Arslan, distributed across four lines within the central motif. The surrounding field is plain, with the flan showing the typical irregular planchet and fabric of hammered copper coinage of the period. The overall style reflects the epigraphic tradition of medieval Islamic bronze coinage of northern Mesopotamia. |
