| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic legend in kufic script set within a plain inner circle, with a small decorative element visible above the uppermost line of text. The central inscription is enclosed by a beaded border, beyond which a continuous circular marginal legend in Arabic runs between two further concentric beaded rings near the coin's periphery. The layout follows the standard Abbasid-derived format adapted by Buyid rulers of Fars, with the text conveying religious formulae and the ruler's name and titles. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of hammered silver dirhams of this period. |
