| Reverse description | Three lines of Kufic Arabic inscription fill the central field, reading محمد رسول الله ('Muhammad is the apostle of Allah'). A circular marginal legend surrounds the central inscription, reading بسم الله ضرب هذا الفلس بواسط سنة ست وعشرين ومية ('In the name of Allah, this fals was struck at Wasit in the year 126'). Five annulets are evenly spaced in the outer margin beyond the circular legend, serving as decorative punctuation elements. The entire design is epigraphic, executed in the angular Kufic script typical of Umayyad provincial copper coinage. |
