| Reverse description | Central field displaying five lines of Arabic script reading: li-llāh / Muḥammad / rasūl Allāh / al-Muqtadir billāh / Yūsuf ibn Dīwdād, acknowledging the Abbasid caliph al-Muqtadir and the Sajid governor Yusuf ibn Diwdad as secular authority. A continuous marginal legend encircles the field bearing the Quranic mission verse (Surat al-Tawba 9:33): Muḥammad rasūl Allāh arsalahū bi al-hudā wa dīn al-ḥaqq liyuẓhirahū ʿalā al-dīn kullih wa law kariha al-mushrikūn. The field and margin are separated by a single raised linear border, with a dentilated outer rim. The style and layout conform closely to standard Abbasid dirham typology as adapted by the Sajid governors of Arminiya and Adharbayjan. |
