| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script, contained within a single or double circular border, with a marginal legend running along the inner periphery. The central inscription carries the name and titles of the Qarakhanid ruler Ibrahim b. Nasr, likely accompanied by an acknowledgment of Abbasid suzerainty. A secondary circular line separates the central text panel from the marginal band, which itself contains additional titulature or mint and date information. The overall design reflects the epigraphic style standard to Qarakhanid silver-billon issues of Akhsikath, with bold, somewhat compressed Kufic lettering across three registers. |
