| Reverse description | Central field displays multiple horizontal registers of Arabic Kufic inscription, with a dotted inner circle separating the central legends from the marginal circular legend. A small isolated Arabic letter or word appears above the uppermost register in the central field. The outer marginal legend in Kufic script encircles the entire design and contains mint and date information including a reference to al-Muhammadiya. The flan edges are irregular and show typical characteristics of hammered coinage. The style closely follows Abbasid dirham typology with the name al-Musayyib noted among the inscriptions. |
