| Reverse description | Central field displays a three-line Kufic inscription within a circular frame reading 'muhammad / rasûl / allâh' (Muhammad, Messenger of God), completing the Islamic profession of faith. A circular marginal legend surrounds the central device, recording the administrative formula identifying the issuing governor: 'amara al-amîr al-hishâm ibn amr bi-l-mawsil' (ordered by the Amir Hisham ibn Amr at al-Mawsil). The overall layout follows standard Umayyad epigraphic fals conventions with bold Kufic lettering throughout. |
