| Obverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, bearing the Shahada and the name of the Abbasid caliph Al-Muqtadi bi-Allah with his title Amir al-Muminin. The surrounding marginal legend carries the Quranic verse of mission (Quran 9:33) in fine Kufic-style script running continuously around the circumference. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, typical of Seljuq gold coinage of the late fifth century AH, with the legends boldly struck and slightly off-center. Small pellet ornaments punctuate the field, consistent with Seljuq mint practice of this period. |
