| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script, likely containing the Shahada or ruler titulature referencing Mansur b. Ahmad and his suzerain Nasr b. 'Ali, set within a plain inner circle. A secondary marginal legend in Arabic Kufic script encircles the coin along its outer border, separated from the central field by a linear or beaded ring. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, consistent with hammered Qarakhanid fals of the late 10th century. |

The Qarakhanids were the first Turkic dynasty to convert to Islam en masse, and their coinage reflects the political complexity of that transition — multiple names on a single fals often indicate a layered hierarchy of khans, with a supreme ruler cited alongside a subordinate who actually controlled the mint city. Here, Nasr b. 'Ali almost certainly held the senior position, with Mansur b. Ahmad acting as the regional authority responsible for this issue.
Copper fals of this period circulated in a monetary system where silver dirhams dominated prestige exchange; the fals handled local, low-value trade and changed hands constantly. Album's attribution 3429.2 places this piece within a tightly defined subtype.
