| Obverse lettering | الملك الظاهر (Translation: Al-Malik Al-Zahir: `The ruler Al-Zahir.`) |
| Reverse description | Central field enclosed within a pearl-ornamented circle bearing the honorific title of the Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah in Arabic script. The mint name, Aleppo (Halab), appears as part of the mint formula flanking or surrounding the Caliph's title, identifying the workshop of production. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers within the beaded border, following the standard Ayyubid fals convention of acknowledging Abbasid suzerainty on the reverse. The composition and layout closely parallel the obverse design, with the pearl border providing a symmetrical decorative frame consistent across both faces. |
