| Reverse description | Central field displays multiple horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic inscription within a beaded inner circle, following the standard Andalusian dirham format with a profession of faith and the name of the issuing authority. A surrounding annular band contains a further Arabic marginal legend enclosed between linear and dotted borders. The coin exhibits the irregular, slightly flan-cracked fabric typical of late Taifa hammered silver coinage. Surface patination is consistent with long burial, showing areas of silver-grey tone with localized green copper staining. |
