Reverse description	A crude and schematic imitation of the obverse design of a Golden Horde dang of Khan Janibek, rendered by a Muscovite die-cutter unfamiliar with Arabic script. The pseudo-Arabic legend occupies the central field, composed of disorganized strokes, pellets, and stylized elements that mimic but do not accurately reproduce the original Kufic or Naskh inscriptions. The overall composition is poorly articulated, reflecting the common Muscovite practice of copying Tatar prototypes as a mark of monetary authority and tribute-era convention.
