Reverse description Imitation of a Golden Horde dang of Uzbek Khan from the Saray mint, featuring a stylized rendering of the Islamic shahada (profession of faith) arranged in horizontal lines within a rectangular cartouche. The second line of the inscription contains a single lattice or geometric ornament in place of legible Arabic text, a characteristic feature of Muscovite imitative coinage that faithfully copied surface design without accurate reproduction of the Arabic script. The field surrounding the cartouche displays additional pseudo-Arabic or geometric decorative elements derived from the Golden Horde prototype. The overall execution is bold but deliberately schematic, serving commercial rather than epigraphic purposes.
