| Reverse description | A mounted horseman advancing to the right, depicted in a schematic but energetic style typical of late Afrighid coinage. The rider sits atop a horse shown in full stride, with both figures rendered in bold relief. The dynastic tamgha symbol appears to the left of the horseman in the field. A Khwarizmian legend runs around the periphery of the coin, partially off the irregular flan. The overall composition reflects the Central Asian artistic tradition of royal equestrian imagery. |
