| Reverse description | Reverse displaying multi-line Arabic inscriptions arranged within a central cartouche, bordered by a circular or dotted marginal legend. The text likely contains the Shahada or other religious formulae, along with the mint name and/or regnal information, consistent with Arabshahid tanka coinage. The script is in naskh or nasta'liq style, typical of Central Asian Islamic issues of the sixteenth century. The flan is irregular and slightly chipped at the rim, with areas of flat strike obscuring portions of the legend. Overall design follows the epigraphic tradition prevalent in the coinage of the Khiva Khanate. |
