| Reverse description | Square flan with four to five lines of Arabic inscription in the central field, referencing the Abbasid Caliph al-Mustansir billah, Commander of the Faithful, and the mint city of Niebla (Niebla rendered as بنيبلة). The legends are arranged in horizontal registers filling the die, with a formula invoking blessings upon the Prophet above the ruler's titles. The irregular hammered flan exhibits typical surface irregularities and slight curvature at the edges consistent with medieval Iberian Islamic coinage. A border formed by incised lines encloses the inscription field. |
