| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within the field, reading the mint formula indicating the place and denomination of striking. The legends are set in a rudimentary naskh-style script, consistent with the epigraphic conventions of Georgian-Persian coinage of this period. The flan surface shows typical hammering irregularities and patination, with the inscription occupying the majority of the die area. |
