| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script set within a double or triple linear circle, surrounded by a prominent outer border of raised pellets partially visible around the circumference. The inscription references the ruling khan Buyan Quli Khan along with mint and date formulae. The pellet border is a distinguishing feature of this Chagatai type, lending a decorative frame to the densely inscribed central panel. The flan is irregular and the strike variable, with some areas of legend weakness consistent with hand-hammered production methods. |
