| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold Arabic inscription reading 'یک تنکه فلوس' (1 fulus tenga) in flowing Nasta'liq script, occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The legend is enclosed within a beaded circular border, consistent with the obverse design. The flan is irregular, characteristic of hand-struck Bukharan copper coinage. On certain die varieties, a small star ornament appears within the reverse field. The overall fabric is crude, reflecting the utilitarian nature of this late-period Bukharan emission. |
