| Reverse description | Central field displays a circular or rounded Arabic legend naming the issuing authority, with the name of Kaidu and Chapar bin Kaidu inscribed in two lines within the field. The script is characteristic of the Mongol-period Central Asian chancery hand, rendered in a compact and somewhat irregular style consistent with hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, with peripheral areas of weak strike. The mint name (Otrar) and date would typically appear in the marginal legend, though partially visible due to the irregular flan. |
