| Reverse description | Anepigraphic reverse displaying an elaborate curvilinear ornamental design centered on a prominent concentric circle motif surrounded by interlocking scroll-like vegetal flourishes radiating outward across the field. Pellets are interspersed among the scrollwork, enhancing the decorative character of the composition. The design bears no inscription or mint name, consistent with the purely ornamental typology of this Bulghar issue. The relief is boldly struck relative to the coin's small module, with the irregular flan edges typical of hammered Golden Horde silver coinage. The stylized scrollwork reflects a regional artistic vocabulary blending steppe and Islamic decorative traditions. |
