| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Mongolian inscription in Uighur script reading 'Khagan nereber Abaqa-yin deledkegulugsen' (Issued by command of the Khagan Abaqa), rendered in the flowing style characteristic of Ilkhanid bilingual coinage. The legend is distributed across several horizontal lines filling the flan, with bold raised characters against an unadorned field. A partial beaded or dotted border is visible along the coin's periphery. The overall strike is typical of hammered Ilkhanid dirhams, showing slight weakness at the irregular edges of the flan. |
