| Reverse description | Central field displays a rectangular cartouche containing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script, arranged horizontally across the flan and naming the Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah as well as the Ayyubid sultan al-Kamil, following standard Ayyubid dynastic protocol. A border of raised pellets surrounds the cartouche, consistent with Damascus Mint production of this period. The strike is characteristic of hammered coinage with slight flan irregularity and variable centering. The legends affirm both caliphal suzerainty and the sultan's regal title, reflecting the political legitimacy conventions of Ayyubid coinage. |
