| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold, high-relief Naskh script arranged horizontally across the central field within a raised inner circle. The central legend bears the honorific titles of Genghis Khan rendered as al-Khaqan al-Adil al-Azam (the Just and Supreme Khagan), followed by the mint and date formula in the lower portion of the field. The mint name Ghazna (Ghazni) and the Hijri date 618 AH are explicitly recorded, confirming the place and year of striking. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central field, separated by a raised line, with a further outer marginal band of text. The reverse, like the obverse, is purely epigraphic, reflecting the Mongol rulers' adoption of established Islamic coinage conventions. |
