| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic legend arranged within a double linear border. The inscription contains the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada) and the name of the Abbasid caliph, following the standard Abbasid dirham layout. The legends are arranged in four to five lines across the flan, with additional marginal legend running along the inner border. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hammered production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing multiple horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic legend within a double linear border, naming the Uqaylid ruler Janah al-Dawla 'Ali ibn al-Musayyab alongside mint and date formulae. The reverse follows the classic Abbasid administrative dirham format, with the mint name Nasibin and the hijri date inscribed within the marginal legend. The lettering is angular Kufic script, characteristic of late 4th-century AH provincial coinage. The flan shows typical irregular hammered edges. |
