Reverse description Densely composed Arabic inscription filling the entire coin field in flowing cursive script, without a central geometric frame, presenting the ruler's name and titles in an interlocking calligraphic arrangement. The legends radiate across the flan in multiple overlapping lines, consistent with Shaybanid gold coinage convention for the reverse. Secondary marginal inscriptions encircle the central text, though partially obscured by the irregular flan edge. The bold relief and fluid script style reflect the high-quality die work of the Mashhad and Herat mints under 'Abd Allah II.
