Reverse description Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in angular script, arranged in horizontal registers separated by ruled lines. The primary inscription contains the Shahada (Islamic profession of faith) and a Quranic phrase from Sura 9:33 attesting to the divine mission of the Prophet Muhammad. A secondary marginal legend runs along the upper and outer borders, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The border is defined by dotted lines framing the rectangular central panel, consistent with standard Mamluk dirham typology of the period.
