| Reverse description | Central field features a multi-line Arabic inscription set within a pointed arch or mihrab-shaped frame, rendered in bold Naskh script across three horizontal registers. The legend records the name and titles of the Ilkhanid ruler Taghay Timur along with the mint name and AH date. A beaded inner border frames the central cartouche, and a further marginal Arabic legend encircles the design in the outer field. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-centre, consistent with hammered Ilkhanid gold coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. The reverse composition adheres strictly to the epigraphic tradition characteristic of late Ilkhanid dinars. |
