| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a similar epigraphic composition to the obverse, with multiple horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic text filling the central medallion, recording religious formulae and the name of the ruling authority. A circular marginal legend surrounds the central field, separated by a plain or beaded border ring. A small ornamental device, possibly a pellet or crescent, appears in the upper field above the central text block. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hammered production, and the die is slightly off-center, a common trait of Ikhshidid provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ikhshidids ruled Egypt and Syria as nominal Abbasid vassals, but by the reign of 'Ali b. al-Ikhshid the dynasty was effectively controlled by the eunuch regent Abu al-Misk Kafur, who governed on behalf of the young prince. 'Ali was the second son to be installed as a figurehead after his brother Abu al-Qasim Unujur, and Kafur's domination of court politics meant the dynasty's coinage functioned more as administrative continuity than any expression of dynastic authority.
The Fatimid conquest of Egypt in 969 ended Ikhshidid rule entirely, within just a few years of this issue's production.
