| Reverse description | Central field displays a stylized stepped mintmark or symbol, possibly a representation of a column or post, surrounded by a multi-line Kufic Arabic marginal legend. The reverse inscription references the mint of Harran and likely includes a pious formula or the mint name. The flan is irregular and of varying thickness, consistent with hand-struck Umayyad provincial fals. The overall style is crude but typical of anonymous copper issues from the Jazira region during the late Umayyad period. |
