| Obverse description | Two facing busts rendered in high relief, depicted side by side at center in a characteristic Artuqid figural style reflecting Byzantine and Seljuk artistic influences. The busts feature schematic facial detail with rounded heads and stylized hair or headgear. Surrounding the central effigies, a circular Kufic Arabic legend occupies the field, containing the Shahada (Kalima) and a reference to the Abbasid Caliph al-Mustanjid. The coin exhibits an irregular hammered flan with green cuprite patination across the surface. |
