| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged in four lines, incorporating the name of the Abbasid caliph al-Muti' lillah as a mark of nominal suzerainty. The field legends are separated from the marginal inscription by a single circular inner border. The outer margin carries the Quranic verse from Surat al-Tawba (9:33) in Arabic, a standard feature of Abbasid-tradition Islamic silver coinage. The flan is irregular and of hammered fabric, with slight surface unevenness and natural die wear consistent with tenth-century Islamic provincial silver issues. The overall strike is moderately well-centered with most legends clearly legible. |
