| Reverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered silver flan with the reverse field filled entirely by a multi-line Arabic inscription in cursive Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's surface. The legend contains the Islamic profession of faith (shahada) and/or additional titles and epithets associated with the issuing ruler, consistent with standard Qarluq tanka coinage of the mid-10th century AH. The epigraphy is boldly struck but shows characteristic provincial irregularity in letter formation and spacing. No mint name or date is discernible in the field. The coin's edge is uneven, typical of hand-struck issues of this series. |
