| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, presenting the ruler's titles and religious formulae in angular Kufic script with characteristic rectilinear letterforms. The legend is bold and deeply struck, filling the field. A marginal Arabic border legend encircles the central inscription, though partially off-flan due to the irregular hammered flan. The surface shows characteristic green patination consistent with bronze alloy coinage of the Artuqid dynasty. |
