Dirham - Yesu Möngke Almaligh

Obverse description	Central field bearing bold Arabic calligraphic inscriptions arranged in multiple horizontal lines within a rectangular frame, typical of Mongol-era Islamic coinage. The legend is set against a plain field with additional marginal inscriptions encircling the central panel. The epigraphy, executed in a somewhat angular Kufic-influenced style, carries the ruler's name and titulature. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hammered medieval Islamic silver coinage. The overall style reflects the Chagatai Khanate's adoption of Abbasid-derived coin typology.

Reverse description	Central field displaying a bold Arabic religious legend arranged in horizontal lines within a double circular border, following the standard Islamic dirham format inherited from Abbasid prototypes. An inner circle encloses the primary inscription, while a secondary legend occupies the annular band between the inner and outer borders. A further marginal inscription runs along the periphery of the flan. The lettering is rendered in a robust, slightly angular script consistent with eastern Islamic mint practice of the mid-13th century. The flan, though irregular at the rim, retains clear definition of the central devices.
