| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in a rectangular cartouche-like format, a characteristic layout of Chagatai hammered dirhams. The Shahada and a Quranic phrase are inscribed in angular, somewhat archaic Arabic script across four horizontal lines. The overall die workmanship is typical of Central Asian mint production of the late 13th century, with irregular flan edges and slight weakness at the periphery. No figural imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |
