| Reverse description | Central field displays a small circular medallion within a beaded inner ring, containing a brief Arabic inscription, likely a religious formula. The surrounding annular field carries a multi-line Arabic legend in angular Kufic-influenced script, incorporating the Shahada or Kalima and Abbasid caliph acknowledgement as customary on Ghurid coinage. A further marginal legend encircles the outer field, separated from the inner zone by a linear border. The coin exhibits the typical irregular flan and uneven strike of hammered silver dirhams produced at the Ghazna mint during the early 13th century. |
