| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in several horizontal registers, recording the names and honorific titles of the Qarakhanid ruler 'Uddat al-Dunya wa'l-Din 'Ali ibn Ja'far. The lettering is executed in a bold hammered relief typical of eastern Islamic gold coinage of the late 12th century. The field shows characteristic surface texture of a hand-struck gold dinar, with the legend densely filling the available space. Peripheral elements are partially visible along the ragged flan edge. No figural imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |
