| Reverse description | The reverse presents an equally dense field of Arabic calligraphic text in naskh script, arranged in concentric registers across the irregular flan. A central legend panel contains the Shahada or dynastic formula, with the word 'Allah' prominently legible in the upper field. Surrounding marginal legends, partially off-flan due to the irregular planchet, carry additional titles or Quranic phrases typical of Chagatai Khanate coinage. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered production, resulting in uneven relief and slight doubling at the edges. |
