| Reverse description | The reverse field is likewise entirely epigraphic, presenting multiple horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic legend occupying the full flan. The inscription includes the Islamic profession of faith (shahada) and a citation of the Fatimid caliph al-Zahir, conforming to the standard formula of acknowledgment on coins struck by Numayrid vassals recognizing Fatimid suzerainty. A partial border of diagonal tick-marks or denticles is visible along the rim in places. The overall die work is somewhat roughly executed, consistent with provincial billon coinage of the early 5th century AH. |
