| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script arranged in horizontal registers, referencing the Abbasid caliph and the Ikhshidid ruler. The name of Allah appears prominently at the top of the central legend field. The inscription is enclosed within a dotted inner border, with a continuous circular marginal legend in Kufic script occupying the outer band. The coin adheres strictly to the aniconic epigraphic style mandated by Islamic numismatic tradition, with the mint name and date incorporated into the marginal or central text. The irregular flan and variable strike depth are consistent with hammered manufacture of the Fatimid-era transitional period. |
