| Reverse description | Entirely epigraphic field bearing multi-line Arabic legend in Kufic-influenced script arranged in horizontal registers, invoking the name and honorific of the reigning Abbasid caliph al-Mustazhir Billah and proclaiming the Islamic faith. The central field legend is enclosed by a beaded inner border, with additional marginal inscriptions in the outer zone. The reverse conforms to the standard Ghaznavid dinar format of acknowledging Abbasid suzerainty alongside the dynastic ruler, reflecting the political and religious conventions of the period. |
