| Reverse description | Imitation Arabic legend filling the field in a multi-line arrangement, composed of pseudo-Kufic or pseudo-Naskh characters that mimic the Tatar Khan inscriptions found on contemporary Golden Horde coinage. The characters, while stylistically resembling Arabic script, are not linguistically coherent and serve as a decorative imitation rather than a readable text. Several vertical strokes and dot-like pellets are arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The relief is shallow and uneven, consistent with the hammered wire technique used for this series. |
