| Reverse description | Reverse die displays a central Arabic or decorative device surrounded by what appear to be radiating star-like or floral ornamental elements in the field, characteristic of anonymous Qarshi copper coinage of the Shaybanid period. The legend or device is struck in shallow relief on a rough, uneven flan with pronounced surface irregularities and encrustation. The design is partially legible due to die wear and off-centre striking, consistent with mass-produced local bazaar coinage. The broad, flat flan bears traces of red copper visible through areas of patina loss. |
