| Reverse description | Reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in the name of the Abbasid caliph al-Mustadi, arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's surface. The legend cites the caliph's honorific titles in accordance with standard Zengid vassal coinage practice, affirming political legitimacy. The inscription is contained within a dotted border that follows the irregular outline of the hammered flan. The surface shows typical wear and porosity consistent with a copper fals of this period and region. |
