Reverse description Identical ornamental composition to the obverse, featuring a dotted square with a floweret at the centre of each side, enclosed within a plain circular border. Counterclockwise Kufic legends appear in the corner segments of the field, while Naskhi script occupies the interior centre of the square. The inscriptions reference the Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir and include the hijri date in words distributed across the four segments, varying by specific year of issue. The design is consistent across the dated varieties catalogued by Balog (664–669).
