| Reverse description | Central field filled with multiple horizontal registers of Arabic script in a raised Kufic-influenced style, conveying the Shahada and additional dynastic or mint titulature. A circular marginal legend encircles the central inscription panel, separated by a plain inner border ring. The flan edges are irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hammered gold dinars of Central Asian Qarakhanid production. The reverse legend likely includes the date in AH and the mint name, though these are partially legible due to flan irregularities. The engraving style reflects the provincial workshop tradition of the Western Qarakhanid Khaganate in the late 6th century AH. |
