| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, recording the name and titles of Sultan Mahmud ibn Sebuktegin alongside acknowledgment of Abbasid suzerainty. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script encircles the central area, separated by a beaded or plain inner border ring. The bold, angular Kufic lettering is characteristic of early 5th century AH Ghaznavid mint production. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered manufacture. |
