| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central field with a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a decorative rectangular border, following the Abbasid administrative coinage tradition. The marginal legend encircles the central text in kufic script, referencing the mint, date, and the name of the Aghlabid ruler Ziyadat Allah I. The legends are executed in angular kufic calligraphy on a flat, unornamented field. The coin's irregular flan and surface show expected wear and die-shift consistent with hand-struck silver coinage of the early 9th century. |
