| Reverse description | Central field displays multiple horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic script within a plain inner circle, citing the name of the Samanid amir Nuh ibn Mansur alongside the Prophetic mission verse (Quran 9:33). The inner circle is framed by a double linear border, surrounded by a circular marginal legend in Kufic script running continuously around the outer annulus. The reverse follows the classic Abbasid-derived epigraphic dirham format, devoid of figural imagery, with the entire design composed exclusively of religious and dynastic inscriptions in the angular late Kufic style. |
