| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription disposed across the field in two or three horizontal registers, containing the Islamic shahada. The lettering is deeply struck but somewhat worn and irregular, consistent with the crude hammered technique employed at provincial Central Asian mints. The flan edges are uneven and fractured in several places, a common characteristic of Balkh copper issues of this era. No additional decorative motifs or mint marks are visible beyond the textual content. The script style is angular and compact, typical of utilitarian copper coinage struck for local circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muhammad Sultan Walid held Balkh as a semi-autonomous ruler under Bukharan suzerainty during a period when the Khanate of Bukhara was fracturing under pressure from internal dynastic rivalry and external Kazakh raids. Bronze tengas from this corner of the Oxus region are rarely documented with precision — the mint output was irregular, record-keeping cursory, and survival rates low given the corrosive soil conditions of the Amu Darya basin.
Album 3026 covers a narrow window of this ruler's tenure, and attributed examples remain genuinely scarce in Western collections.
