| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script reading 'Al-Qan al-A'zam al-'Adil' (The Supreme and Just Khan), serving as the titular legend attributing sovereignty to Abaqa Khan without naming him explicitly. The legend is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with bold raised lettering set against a plain, unadorned field. No mint name or date is present on this die, consistent with the anonymous coinage practice of the early Ilkhanate. The irregular flan and slightly uneven strike are characteristic of the hammered production technique employed at the Hamadan, Kashan, and Tabriz mints during this period. |
