| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold high-relief scene depicting three robed and turbaned Nizari Ismaili warriors advancing toward the viewer, their faces masked with wrapped keffiyehs, clad in intricately ornamented medieval Islamic armour. Each figure brandishes a curved scimitar with gilded gold plating on the blades, creating a striking two-tone contrast against the antiqued silver field. Architectural elements of a fortress and domed mosque are visible in the background, evoking the medieval Levantine and Persian setting of the Nizari order. The legend ASSASSINS arcs along the upper border, while NIZARIS appears at lower left and the Arabic inscription النزاريون arcs along the lower right, all within a beaded border with an outer ring of arabesques. The deeply sculpted relief and antiqued finish give the composition a dramatic cinematic quality. |
