| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold two-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script reading 'Kebek Khan', identifying the issuing ruler of this posthumous or commemorative type attributed to the Golden Horde. The calligraphic legend fills the flan in a manner typical of late Jochid silver dirhams, with large, clearly formed characters in high relief. A column of raised pellets arranged vertically along the left margin serves as a decorative border, echoing the pellet border seen on the obverse. Additional fragmentary inscription elements are visible at the lower and upper rim, partially off the flan due to the irregular planchet. The overall style reflects the debased but distinctive die-cutting tradition of early fifteenth-century Saray mint production. |
