| Reverse description | The reverse is fully occupied by a bold nasta'liq Arabic-script legend arranged in multiple lines across the field, commemorating the deceased Emir Haidar with the pious formula attesting to his memory and praising his legacy. A horizontal rule divides the field, separating the upper and lower portions of the inscription. The calligraphy is deeply struck in high relief, with characteristic Bukharan style. The irregular flan and absence of a border are typical of hand-struck silver tengas of this period. |
