| Reverse description | Central field displays a quotation from Surah Al-Ikhlas (Quran 112:1–4) inscribed in Kufic script in four horizontal lines within a plain inner circle, affirming the absolute unity and uniqueness of God. A circular marginal legend surrounds the central panel, carrying the Quranic verse from Surah At-Tawbah (9:33) attesting to the Prophet Muhammad's mission, a standard reverse marginal inscription on Umayyad reformed dirhams. The coin surface exhibits the slightly rough, hand-struck texture typical of early Islamic hammered silver coinage. The calligraphy is bold and well-spaced, reflecting the canonical Umayyad epigraphic standard. No decorative elements, portraits, or symbols are present. |
