背面描述	The reverse displays three lines of bold Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged horizontally across the field and divided by a single raised horizontal line separating the upper and lower registers. The upper register bears the first portion of the Shahada, while the lower register continues the profession of faith, referencing the Prophet Muhammad as the messenger of God. The legends are struck in high relief against a flat, plain field, with the outermost characters partially off-flan due to the irregular planchet. The workmanship is typical of Mamluk hammered silver, with slightly uneven letter depths across the die.

附加信息	Al-Zahir Jaqmaq came to power in 1438 after the deposition of Barsbay, ruling for fifteen years in a period of relative fiscal strain — Mamluk silver coinage had been deteriorating in fineness for decades, and dirham production under Jaqmaq reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize a currency repeatedly undermined by debasement and the dominance of Venetian ducats in Levantine trade. His reign saw sporadic attempts at monetary reform that ultimately failed to reverse the long contraction of the Mamluk silver economy.
