| Reverse description | Irregularly struck hammered gold flan bearing a four-line Arabic legend in the central field, consistent with the regal and religious titulature conventions of Atabeg dynastic coinage of Fars. The uppermost line names the Abbasid caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah as spiritual suzerain, followed by the title Amir al-Muminin (Commander of the Faithful), then the honorific al-Malik al-Mu'azzam (the Exalted King), and finally the name and patronymic of the issuing ruler, Tughril ibn Sunqur. The script, rendered in a provincial Naskhi hand, is partially blundered due to the worn state of the die and uneven flan preparation. Surface flow lines, fissures, and patchy oxidation are visible across the field, characteristic of this series. |
