| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script arranged across the central field within a circular border, following standard Abbasid dirham convention. The central text includes a religious formula and references to the mint of Dimashq (Damascus) along with the regnal or administrative authority of al-Natiq Musa. A marginal circular legend in Kufic script surrounds the central panel, separated by a linear border. The inscription style is characteristic of early Abbasid epigraphy, with angular, clearly struck letterforms. No figurative imagery appears on this face. |
