| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field contains a four-line Arabic Kufic legend arranged within a plain inner circle, reading the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada): 'There is no god but God alone, He has no partner.' A marginal legend in the outer border, partially worn, records the mint name Akhsikath and the date of issue in the hijri calendar. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted or beaded border, typical of Samanid copper fals coinage. The hammered flan is irregular and shows natural surface porosity consistent with copper struck in the 10th century CE. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Malik ibn Shakartegin governed Akhsikath — a major city in the Fergana Valley, now in modern Uzbekistan — as a subordinate amir under Samanid authority during the mid-tenth century. The Samanids permitted regional governors considerable autonomy in copper coinage while maintaining tight control over silver dirhams, which is why fals issues like this one vary so substantially in type and local style across the dynasty's eastern territories. Akhsikath was one of the more prolific provincial mints for copper.
