| Obverse description | Circular field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged concentrically, with the royal titulature of Sultan 'Ala al-Din Muhammad II inscribed in bold relief. The legend reads 'al-Sultan al-A'zam 'Ala' al-Dunya wa-l-Din' (The Supreme Sultan, Glory of the World and of the Faith), disposed in an inner circular field bordered by a beaded or dotted inner circle. The surrounding marginal legend continues the honorific titles in characteristic Khwarezmian chancellery script. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered billon jitals of this period, with some weakness at the edges. |
