| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a four-line Arabic religious legend disposed horizontally within an inner circle, presenting the shahada and Quranic passage attesting to the Prophet's mission. The inscriptions are rendered in a bold, clearly spaced Naskh-influenced script characteristic of Mamluk silver coinage. A marginal band with additional text runs between the inner circle and the outer beaded border, which encircles the entire reverse design. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven at the edges, as typical of hammered Islamic dirhams of this period. |
