| Reverse description | Reverse field displays multiple horizontal lines of Arabic script in a stacked arrangement, naming the Abbasid caliph al-Mustazhir Billah in the upper registers, followed by the honorific title 'al-Sultan al-Mu'azzam' (the Exalted Sultan), and then the ruler's name 'Arslan Shah bin Kirmanshah,' identifying the issuing authority of the Kerman Sultanate. A circular marginal legend reads the mint and denomination formula: 'In the name of God, this dinar was struck in Kerman.' The coin's irregular flan and hand-struck technique are characteristic of medieval Islamic provincial minting practice. |
