| Reverse description | Reverse presents an Arabic Kufic legend struck in shallow relief across the irregular square flan, the die impression partially off-centre as is common for hammered Rassid copper issues. The inscription lines are compressed within the field with no surrounding marginal legend or decorative frame. The flan edges show chamfered facets from the cutting of the blank. Die wear and metal flow have rendered portions of the legend weakly struck, lending the surface a worn, granular texture. The patina is a mottled reddish-brown with localised green oxidation. |
