| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription, deeply struck into the irregular copper flan. The lettering is bold and angular, consistent with provincial Abbasid epigraphic style, with individual characters showing clear strokes and spacing. No decorative border or marginal legend is discernible. The flan edges are uneven, reflecting the hammered production technique characteristic of early Islamic copper coinage. Significant green and brown patination covers the surface, indicating age and environmental exposure. |
