| Reverse description | The reverse presents bold Arabic legends arranged in a multi-line central field, with large angular characters filling the die area in the manner typical of Chagatai silver dirhams. The inscription, disposed across the flan in dense Kufic-influenced script, likely references the ruler Baraq Khan and the mint city of Almaligh, along with a date formula. Decorative pellets and foliate elements punctuate the field between inscription lines. A marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central text within a beaded border, though the irregular flan causes partial legend loss at the periphery. |
