| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Arabic inscription in large, bold Kufic script occupying the central field, reading 'بسم الله / ضرب تبرستان' (In the name of God / struck in Tabaristan). The legends are enclosed within a plain inner circle, with a prominent beaded border encircling the outer edge of the coin. Dot ornaments are scattered within the field between the script elements, a decorative convention common to early Islamic copper coinage of the region. The overall design reflects the aniconic epigraphic style standard for Islamic fals coinage of the early Abbasid period. |
