| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic Kufic legend occupying the central medallion, arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, recording the ruler's name and titles in the bold angular script conventional for Qarakhanid copper issues. An annular marginal legend in Kufic script surrounds the central field, separated by a plain raised border. The outer rim features the same stylized zigzag or foliate decorative band as the obverse, giving the coin a uniformly ornate peripheral treatment. Strike quality is typical of hammered copper fals of the period, with minor die misalignment and flan irregularities visible at the edges. |
