| Obverse description | Stylized crowned bust of ruler facing right, with a crescent surmounted by a dot above the crown, executed in the late Sasanian-derived Sogdian artistic tradition. A Sogdian legend reading 'King of Bukhara' appears in the field before the face, while an Arabic inscription reading 'Muhammad' is placed behind the head. Three pellets appear below the bust in the lower field, serving as a distinctive mint or issuer mark. |
