| Reverse description | Central field displays a three-line Kufic inscription attesting to the prophethood of Muhammad, reading 'Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, who sent him with guidance and the religion of truth.' A circular marginal legend in Kufic script encircles the central text, enclosed within a double linear border. The style reflects the standardised fully epigraphic type of Umayyad silver coinage following the monetary reform of 77 AH (696/697 CE). The mint name Dastawa appears in the marginal legend. |
