| Reverse description | Central field displays multiple horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic script, presenting the standard Islamic profession of faith and administrative legends associated with Abbasid-period dirhams. A circular marginal inscription in Kufic script encircles the central text, running along the inner edge of the coin. The flan is irregular and somewhat worn, consistent with hand-hammered silver coinage of ninth-century Central Asia. A beaded or denticulated border frames the entire design. No figural motifs are present, adhering strictly to the aniconic epigraphic tradition of Islamic coinage. |
