| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic legend within a rectangular frame bordered by a dotted circle, following the standard Ayyubid dirham design. The inscription in naskh script names the Abbasid Caliph al-Mustansir Bi-Allah, along with his honorific titles and Koranic affirmations. The marginal legend carries the Kalima (Islamic profession of faith), running around the perimeter outside the rectangular border. The layout faithfully imitates contemporary Ayyubid dirhams struck in the name of the reigning caliph, a convention adopted by the Crusader mints for economic circulation in the Levant. |
