| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in Kufic script, arranged in horizontal registers within a roughly circular flan. The legends include the shahada or related devotional formulae characteristic of transitional Umayyad-Abbasid coinage. The surface shows typical hammered relief with irregular flan edges and pronounced patination consistent with copper issues of the period. No figural imagery is present, reflecting the aniconic tradition of early Islamic coinage. |
