| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic-influenced script, arranged in horizontal registers and divided by ruled lines, with floral or vegetal terminal ornaments at the base of the central legend. A curved stroke suggestive of a crescent or decorative element appears above the central text. The field is enclosed within a dotted inner circle, beyond which a marginal Arabic legend is partially legible between two concentric raised borders. The overall fabric is typical of late Taifa-period copper coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan and moderate die wear. |
