| Obverse description | Standing imperial figure in full frontal view, depicted in the Byzantine tradition, wearing long robes and holding a long cross or scepter in the right hand, with a globus cruciger or similar object in the left. The effigy is rendered in a crude, provincial style characteristic of early Arab-Byzantine transitional coinage. The Arabic legend 'bism allah' (in the name of God) appears in the field, marking the Islamicization of the inherited Byzantine design. |
