Reverse description Blundered Arabic Shahada inscription arranged within an octofoil border, closely imitating the reverse type of authentic Ilkhanid coinage of Abu Sa'id. The profession of faith is rendered in a debased, partially illegible form consistent with imitative production by an Anatolian beylik workshop unfamiliar with the original Arabic. The inscription is set within a lobed cartouche, with the overall composition showing the characteristic crude engraving and irregular flan typical of hammered imitative issues of this period.
