| Reverse description | Epigraphic reverse displaying five horizontal lines of bold Kufic script in the central field, naming the Fatimid Imam-Caliph al-Qa'im bi-Amr Allah with his titles: al-Imam Abu al-Qasim Muhammad, Amir al-Mu'minin, al-Qa'im bi-Amr Allah. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script runs around the outer field, containing the Quranic verse 9:33 attesting to the mission of the Prophet Muhammad, enclosed between the inner beaded border and the outer dentilated rim. The overall design is purely calligraphic, in the established Fatimid tradition of aniconic gold coinage. |
