| Reverse description | Central field displays multiple horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic legend contained within a double linear inner border, with a further marginal inscription running along the outer zone. The field inscriptions bear the Prophetic mission statement and the names of Kisra and Ishaq, associates of the Qarmatid authority. The outer marginal legend carries the Quranic verse from Sura 9:33 attesting to the divine mission of the Prophet Muhammad. The coin exhibits typical characteristics of 4th-century AH hammered silver dirhams from the Levantine region, with slightly uneven strike and natural flan irregularities. The script is angular Kufic throughout, consistent with late 10th-century CE provincial Islamic coinage. |
