| Reverse description | Epigraphic field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskh script, reading 'wa al-Din Kitbugha, Darb Dimashq' (and the Faith, Kitbugha, struck at Damascus), identifying the ruler and the mint of issue. The legend is distributed across two lines within the field, characteristic of Mamluk fals coinage. The irregular flan exhibits areas of flat strike at the periphery, with green cuprite patination overall consistent with prolonged burial. |
