| Reverse description | The reverse of this small hammered silver fraction appears largely blank or very weakly struck, consistent with Almoravid half-qirat coinage where the reverse often carries a minimal or partially legible Kufic religious formula. The plain, grainy silver surface shows flow lines and surface texture characteristic of a hammered planchet with insufficient die contact, resulting in little or no discernible design detail on this example. |
