| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Arabic legend in three or four horizontal lines, enclosed within a plain inner circle and a beaded outer border. The inscription references the Mongol ruler's authority, incorporating phrases acknowledging Islamic legitimacy in the tradition of coinage struck at conquered Ghaznavid mint facilities. The flan is irregular and slightly off-round, consistent with hand-hammered silver dirham production of the early thirteenth century. |
