| Reverse description | Central field contains multiple horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic inscriptions, including the name of the Prophet Muhammad and the name of the Hamdanid ruler Nasir al-Dawla. The reverse marginal legend runs continuously around the periphery within a circular border, carrying additional religious or dynastic formulae in Kufic script. A secondary inner border ring separates the central inscription block from the outer legend. The flan is slightly uneven, consistent with hand-hammered silver coinage of the 4th century AH. |
