Reversbeschreibung	Reverse of this hammered silver dirham bearing Arabic legends arranged across the field in multiple lines, with traces of calligraphic inscription visible despite heavy wear and surface corrosion. The irregular flan edges and uneven strike are characteristic of provincial Qalhati mint production. The central legend area retains partial letterforms consistent with the ruler's name and titulature in Arabic script, executed in the angular Kufic-influenced style common to Gulf region issues of the early sixteenth century.

Zusätzliche Informationen	The Emirate of Qalhati was a minor coastal polity on the Omani littoral, and coins struck under its authority are poorly documented in Western references — A#1944D being among the scarcer catalogued types. The name Muhammad Jarun on this issue almost certainly refers to a local ruler whose tenure and lineage remain incompletely established in surviving Arabic chronicles. 1526 places this dirham squarely in the final decades before Portuguese naval dominance reshaped the entire Gulf of Oman trade network, disrupting the small minting operations of precisely these kinds of coastal emirates.
