| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, proclaiming the authority of Genghis Khan (Chingiz Khan). The legend is contained within a plain linear border, typical of early Mongol hammered coinage. The script is bold and angular, characteristic of the administrative and monetary conventions adopted by the Great Mongol Empire following the establishment of the Chinggisid dynasty. The flan is broad and irregular, consistent with hand-struck copper issues of this period. |
