| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script, referencing the caliph al-Radi Billah and the shahada or related religious formulae, arranged in three to four lines within a raised inner circle. A continuous circular marginal legend in Kufic script surrounds the central device, separated by a beaded or plain inner ring. The coin exhibits the characteristic flat, irregular flan of hammered Abbasid gold coinage, with the inscriptions slightly off-center as is common for this donative series. |
