| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field presents a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers within a single linear circle, citing the overlord Nuh III (Samanid ruler Nuh ibn Mansur) and the Simjurid vassal Amir Nasir al-Dawla Muhammad ibn Ibrahim. The central area opens with 'lillah' (to God) at the apex, followed by the Shahada acknowledging Muhammad as the Messenger of God, and the titles and names of the issuing prince and his Samanid overlord. The inner margin bears the full Quranic verse from Surah At-Tawbah (9:33) attesting to the mission of the Prophet, and the same verse is repeated in the outer marginal legend, emphasizing Sunni dynastic legitimacy. The flan is of irregular hammered form with slightly ragged edges characteristic of eastern Islamic gold coinage of the late 4th century AH. |

The Simjurids were a family of military governors whose authority in Khurasan depended entirely on Samanid patronage — their coins are a direct ledger of that relationship. By 980, Nuh III (Nuh ibn Mansur) was the reigning Samanid amir, and a Simjurid governor citing him on gold coinage was performing an act of political alignment as much as monetary administration. The Nishapur mint was among the most productive in the eastern Islamic world during this period, feeding trade networks that ran from the Caspian to Central Asia.
Within two decades of this striking, the Simjurids had been effectively destroyed by the Ghaznavids under Mahmud, making their gold issues a narrow window in an already brief dynastic run.
