| Reverse description | Central field bearing the denomination inscription in flowing Arabic Naskh script across three lines, reading 'پنج تنکه فلوس' (Five Tenga-fulus), interspersed with rosette ornaments composed of pellet clusters arranged in floral patterns. The legends and ornamental devices fill the field in a loosely organised composition typical of late Bukharan hammered coinage. An inner circle encloses the central inscription, with a segmented geometric border running along the periphery, mirroring the obverse treatment. The irregular flan edges and uneven strike are consistent with the hand-struck production methods employed at the Bukhara Mint during this period. |
