| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in naskh script, occupying the majority of the flan. The legend is struck in bold, deeply incised relief characteristic of hammered anonymous copper issues of Central Asian city mints in the early 15th century. The text appears to reference a religious formula or mint attribution, though the crude and irregular strike renders portions of the inscription partially legible. No border or decorative frame is present. |

| Additional information |
Tirmidh — ancient Termez, on the Oxus — was by the early 15th century operating under Timurid suzerainty, and anonymous copper issues of this type reflect the practical reality of local urban minting: small denomination fiduciary coinage that the central authority rarely bothered to regulate closely. The dangi circulated in bazaar economies where silver was too valuable for petty transactions.
The A#3283 attribution places this within Album's corpus of anonymous post-Mongol Central Asian coppers — a category notoriously difficult to assign with precision, where provenance of find spot often matters more than the die evidence itself.
