| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghazna — modern Ghazni in Afghanistan — had been one of the great minting centers of the Islamic world under the Ghaznavid sultans, and the Mongols were pragmatic enough to keep it running after the conquest. These dirhams were struck using existing Islamic administrative infrastructure, with Arabic calligraphy retained not out of religious conviction but because the local workforce and dies demanded it. The Mongol leadership had no interest in reforming a mint that was already producing usable coin.
Tye 327 is among the scarcer attributable Chingizid silver types from this mint, predating the more systematized Il-Khanid coinage that followed later in the century.
