| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Kufic script, identifying the ruler Chaghri Beg Da'ud and acknowledging Abbasid suzerainty, arranged across four to five horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. Ornamental cartouche-like devices appear at the periphery of the outer border, which carries a continuous marginal legend in Arabic script referencing Quranic verse or mint and date formulae. The reverse flan is similarly irregular, consistent with hand-struck production, with areas of die wear and patination typical of 11th-century Khorasanian dirhams. |
