| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script arranged in horizontal registers, bearing the name of the Abbasid caliph and the Aghlabid emir al-Aghlab as issuing authority. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script runs between two beaded borders, completing the religious and administrative formulae standard to Aghlabid gold coinage. The surfaces show typical hammered texture with slight die wear consistent with ninth-century North African gold dinars. |
