| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, recording the name and titles of the issuing ruler Muhammad b. al-Hasan and additional honorific epithets. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script surrounds the central field within a beaded border, likely containing Quranic verse or mint and date information. The die-engraving is characteristic of Qarakhanid hammered silver coinage of the early 5th century AH, with bold Kufic letterforms in high relief against a flat, slightly rough field. |
