| Obverse description | Diademed royal bust facing right, surmounted by a bird ornament or finial atop the crown. The effigy is rendered in the schematic Choresmian artistic tradition, with the facial features and headdress details characteristic of the Afrigid dynastic coinage of the Middle Period. The flan is irregular and heavily worn, with the relief softened by circulation and corrosion. |
