| Reverse description | A finely modeled left-facing bust portrait of the Islamic polymath Al-Farabi (Abu Nasr Muhammad al-Farabi, c. 870–950 CE) dominates the central field, depicted wearing a traditional draped turban with detailed cloth folds rendered in high relief. Concentric arc lines radiating from either side of the portrait evoke sound waves, referencing Al-Farabi's celebrated contributions to music theory and acoustics. The legend 'FÂRÂBÎ' is inscribed in the upper field above the portrait, and the dates '870–950' appear in the lower field below the bust, denoting his approximate birth and death years. |
