| Reverse description | Central field divided into two registers: the upper register bears the mint name 'Bukhara' (بخارا) in raised nasta'liq script, while the lower register displays the word 'Zarb' (ضرب, meaning 'struck') accompanied by the AH date 1153 in Eastern Arabic numerals. The legends are arranged horizontally across the flan and enclosed within a dotted circular border. The hammered fabric produces a slightly irregular, concave surface consistent with local Bukharan mint production under Nader Shah's authority. |
