Reverse description Central field displaying a three-line Arabic inscription reading 'al-Imam / al-Musta'sim / Billah', naming the Abbasid caliph al-Musta'sim as the supreme religious authority. The text is arranged horizontally across the flan within a plain border, framed by the irregular outline of the hammered copper planchet. The die engraving exhibits the angular naskhi style typical of mid-13th century Ayyubid bronzes struck at Aleppo, with some die shift evident on this example.
