| Obverse description | Central field bears the Asomtavruli letter Ⴃ (the initial of King Demetrius I), flanked above and below by Arabic Kufic legends, the upper inscription oriented inverted. The central device and inscriptions are enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a peripheral Kufic border legend rendered largely illegible due to the irregular flan and crude striking. |
