| Reverse description | The reverse displays multiple lines of Arabic inscription arranged horizontally across the field, consistent with Mamluk dirham typology of the reign of al-Mansur Qala'un. The text includes the mint name Hamah and likely the date of issue in Hijri numerals, along with a Quranic citation or additional royal titulature. The surface shows granular wear and light encrustation characteristic of long-circulated hammered silver. The flan edges are irregular, with slight cracking and deformation typical of the hand-struck coinage of this era. |
