| Reverse description | Central field bearing a bold three-line Arabic legend in Naskh script proclaiming the titles of Möngke Khan. A six-pointed Star of Solomon (hexagram) is interspersed within the legend as a decorative and symbolic device between the lines. The design is enclosed within a dotted inner border, consistent with the obverse framing, and the irregular hammered flan edge is characteristic of the Tiflis mint's output during this period. The lettering is robust and deeply struck, reflecting the Mongol-Ilkhanid calligraphic style. |
