| Obverse description | Central field bearing a distinctive three-pellet triangular motif, flanked by additional dot devices and a small circular element in the upper right. Below the central motif, an Arabic legend is arranged in two lines across the lower field. The striking is characteristic of hammered coinage, resulting in a slightly irregular flan with softness at the edges. The design reflects the syncretic Qandhari style combining Hindu iconographic elements with Islamic epigraphic traditions. |
