Reverse description Central field bearing a three-line Arabic Kufic inscription naming the Prophet Muhammad and acknowledging the Abbasid caliph al-Muqtadi bi-Amr Allah. The legends are arranged horizontally across the field, separated by linear registers, reflecting the standard Abbasid-influenced epigraphic style adopted by Seljuq vassal rulers. A marginal inscription is partially visible around the rim, though heavily worn. The flan shows irregular edges and surface corrosion consistent with a billon composition and long burial or circulation. No figural or ornamental devices are present.
