| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, proclaiming the titles and name of the Great Seljuq sultan Malikshah I as 'al-Sultan al-Mu'azzam Malikshah, Nasir Amir al-Muminin,' acknowledging both his temporal sovereignty and his role as defender of the caliphate. The upper field opens with the divine invocation 'lillah' (to God). The marginal legend, partially legible due to the irregular flan, contains the mint name and regnal date, both of which are uncertain on this specimen. Three pellets arranged vertically in the left field serve as decorative separators, a common feature of Seljuq hammered coinage. The overall style is consistent with Album 1675 type dinars struck during Malikshah I's reign (AH 465–485). |
