| Obverse description | Central field contains the Shahada inscribed in angular Kufic script arranged in multiple lines within a circular border. The legend reads the Islamic declaration of faith, with the text distributed across the field in a bold, archaic style characteristic of Khwarezmian copper coinage. A decorative circular border encloses the central inscription, itself surrounded by a further marginal legend in the outer ring. The flan is broad, flat, and irregularly struck, with the surfaces showing characteristic hammered texture and areas of wear consistent with heavy circulation. |
