| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays five lines of Kufic Arabic script bearing the Quranic verse from Surat al-Ikhlas (Q. 112:1–4): 'He is God, the One and Only, the Eternal Absolute, who begets not nor is begotten, and there is none comparable unto Him.' A concentric marginal legend in Kufic script encircles the central panel, containing the Quranic verse from Surat al-Tawba (Q. 9:33) proclaiming the prophetic mission of Muhammad. The entire design is purely epigraphic, devoid of any figural or decorative motifs, in strict accordance with Umayyad reformed coinage conventions. The legends are contained within a plain linear border. The hammered flan exhibits minor weakness at the edges, consistent with hand-struck silver dirhams of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The anonymous dirhams of al-Taymara belong to a transitional moment in Islamic coinage — Abd al-Malik's monetary reform of 696–698 AD had just abolished figurative imagery and standardized the epigraphic dirham, and the provincial mints scrambled to comply at uneven rates. Al-Taymara, a minor mint in the Jibāl region of western Iran, produced issues that frequently lack a named governor, complicating attribution to any specific administrative period within the Umayyad century.
Klat 206 is among the scarcer provincial types. The absence of mint-master identification likely reflects administrative instability rather than deliberate anonymity.
