Reverse description Central area bears multiple lines of Arabic Kufic inscription arranged horizontally within a circular beaded inner border, following the standard Umayyad-derived formula adapted by the taifa rulers. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script occupies the outer border, framed by linear or pellet borders. The legends reference religious formulae and the ruler's name or title. The flan is slightly irregular and the strike shows characteristic uneven pressure typical of hammered taifa dirhams.
