| Reverse description | Reverse field displays a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged horizontally across the coin's surface, forming the Shahada profession of faith. The legend is set within the plain field without a central device, a format typical of the purely epigraphic anonymous fals coinage struck at Umayyad provincial mints. The flan is irregular with a slightly rough surface, consistent with hammered copper production, and exhibits green and brown patination throughout. |
