| Reverse description | Central field features a bold Arabic legend in flowing Naskh script, reading 'بش فنگ' (Besh Fung, meaning '5 Fen'), occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The inscription is surrounded by a decorative inner border, with the outer border displaying a pronounced geometric or sun-ray pattern of angular lines, characteristic of the Kashgar mint's hand-struck coinage of this period. The irregular flan shape is typical of locally produced hammered issues. |
