Obverse description Diademed, bearded royal bust facing right, with elaborately plaited hair and wearing a distinctive cap-like headdress surmounted by a seated falcon in profile. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition adapted to local Chorasmian artistic conventions, with pronounced facial features. The entire design is contained within a bead-and-reel border, characteristic of the dynastic coinage of ancient Khwarezm.
