| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, presenting a portion of the Shahada followed by the honorific title and name of the Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tamid 'ala Allah and his title Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful). The central legends are enclosed within a single linear circle, surrounded by a continuous marginal legend in Kufic script containing Quranic verse 9:33 (the mission verse). The flan is irregular and moderately broad, consistent with hammered Abbasid provincial silver dirhams of the late third century AH. |
