| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in stacked horizontal registers within a double linear inner border, consistent with Abbasid-derived dinar typology as adapted by the Seljuq rulers. The inscription references the ruling authority and likely includes the name of the Abbasid caliph as suzerain alongside the local Seljuq governor Shams al-Ma'ali Chaghri Takin. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script surrounds the central panel, containing mint and date information. The calligraphic style is angular and compact, typical of late 11th-century Iranian Islamic gold coinage. The flan is slightly irregular and shows typical hammer-struck surface texture. |
