| Reverse description | Central field occupied by multiple concentric zones of Arabic script in Kufic style, presenting religious and dynastic inscriptions arranged in circular registers around a compact central legend. An outer marginal legend, partially visible due to the irregular flan, runs along the inner edge of the coin's border. The overall composition follows the classical Abbasid-inspired dinar format, with all decorative space devoted exclusively to calligraphic text. Strike is softer and less well-defined than the obverse, with areas of flatness and flan irregularity visible at the periphery. No figurative imagery is present, in strict conformity with Islamic numismatic convention. |
