| Reverse description | Central field displays multiple horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic inscription within a plain inner circle, invoking blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad and naming the Ikhshidid ruler Abu'l-Qasim b. al-Ikhshid along with the Abbasid caliph. A continuous marginal Kufic legend circles between the inner ring and the outer beaded border, with small pellet separators. The style closely follows the standard Abbasid dinar format, with the mint and date typically appearing within the lower registers of the inscription field. |
