| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a decorative square or rectangular cartouche divided by ruled lines into compartments, a compositional format typical of Mengüjekid and contemporaneous Anatolian dynastic coinage. The legend, distributed across the quadrants of the cartouche, contains the ruler's name and titles. Marginal Arabic legends occupy the area outside the central frame, running along the inner border of the flan. The die-work is bold and confident, though the irregular flan results in some peripheral legend loss. The copper surface displays a reddish-brown patina consistent with the coin's age and burial history. |
