Reverse description Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers within a double border formed by concentric linear and dotted circles. The inscription, rendered in a Naskh-style hand consistent with Golden Horde mint practice, records the mint name, the word for mint city (beled), and the Hijri regnal year. The flan edges are irregular and show the characteristic clipping and planishing typical of hammered Central Asian dirhams of the early fifteenth century. The dotted circle border is clearly visible enclosing the textual field.
