| Reverse description | Central field displays multiple horizontal registers of Arabic Kufic inscription, similarly arranged in a rectangular block format with horizontal dividing rules. A single word or phrase appears isolated above the central text block at the top of the field, likely a mint epithet or ruler's title. A circular marginal legend in Kufic Arabic script encircles the central device along the outer border, separated by a beaded inner ring. The epigraphy references the ruling Buyid amir Samsam al-Dawla and the mint of Suq al-Ahwaz, following the standard formulaic layout of tenth-century Buyid dinars. |
