| Reverse description | Central field features a bold Arabic inscription within a double circular frame or medallion, surrounded by an ornamental border of interlocking arabesque or floral motifs arranged around the circumference. The central roundel contains the ruler's titles and name in multiple horizontal lines of Arabic script in high relief. A marginal legend encircles the central device, separated by the decorative border. The overall design follows the eastern Islamic dirham tradition of the Ilkhanid sphere, with the stylized vegetal border lending an ornate quality to the reverse. The strike is moderately sharp with some weakness at the irregular flan edges. |
