| Reverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script arranged in horizontal registers within an inner circle, recording the name and titles of the ruler al-Mu'tadid 'Abbad ibn Muhammad alongside Abbasid suzerainty formulae, in keeping with taifa-period convention of acknowledging nominal Abbasid overlordship. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script encircles the central field, with a further outer band of inscription separated by concentric borders. The overall style closely follows Fatimid and Umayyad dinar prototypes adapted for Andalusian taifa production, with fine Kufic lettering on a slightly irregular gold flan. |
