| Reverse description | The reverse field displays a further Arabic inscription in a similarly informal and abbreviated Naskh hand, consistent with Mongol dirham production of the mid-13th century. The legend appears to contain a mint or ruler attribution, though the weak and irregular strike renders full resolution difficult. The flan is notably thin and uneven, with die wear visible across the central devices. The peripheral area shows the characteristic ragged edge of a hastily-prepared, hand-hammered planchet. No decorative border or inner circle is present, leaving the inscription to fill the available field. |
