| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered billon jital with the field entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in Kufic-influenced script. The inscription, reading 'al-Nasir li-Din Allah Amir al-Mu'minin' (Defender of the Faith, Commander of the Faithful), is arranged in three or four horizontal lines within a square or rectangular cartouche, referencing the Abbasid caliph al-Nasir. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with weak areas of strike typical of early Mongol coinage struck at Ghazna. No figurative devices or borders are present, the entire design being purely epigraphic. |
