| Reverse description | The reverse field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, occupying the central zone of the flan and referencing the Abbasid caliph as the nominal suzerain, along with additional titulature. The legend is distributed across several lines within a plain border, with the flan showing characteristic irregularity and surface roughness typical of hammered Artuqid copper dirhams. Minor die wear and flan cracks are visible, consistent with the circulation history of this issue. |
