| Reverse description | The reverse presents a central field filled with multiple lines of Arabic inscription in angular Kufic script, recording the name of the Abbasid Caliph and additional honorific titles of the local ruler 'Arabshah ibn Abi Bakr. A marginal circular legend in Naskh script encircles the central text field within a beaded or linear border. The overall layout follows the standard Ghaznavid-influenced dinar format common in eastern Iranian and Transoxanian minting practice of the early medieval Islamic period. The strike is slightly off-center, with some weakness at the edges as typical for hammered issues of this region and era. No mint name or date is visible on the examined specimen. |
