Obverse description Crudely struck irregular silver flan bearing a three-line Arabic Kufic inscription filling the central field, reading the Shahada partial formula. The lettering is executed in an archaic, compressed script characteristic of early Abbasid provincial coinage in Sind. The flan is irregular and lumpy, with no border or marginal legend, and the strike is uneven, leaving portions of the design weakly impressed. The overall style reflects the transitional Qanhari coinage tradition of the mid-8th century.
