| Reverse description | The reverse presents five lines of bold Kufic Arabic script filling the central field, citing the name of the Abbasid caliph and the Sajid governor al-Fath b. al-Afshin, following the standard Abbasid dinar format. The marginal legend running around the circumference contains a Quranic inscription in Kufic script, separated from the central field by a plain linear border. The overall design conforms to the established Abbasid epigraphic tradition, with no figurative imagery, relying entirely on calligraphic compositions for authority and identification. The mint name Ardabil appears within the reverse field inscription. |
