| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic and Persian epigraphic field in four to five horizontal registers, enclosed within a prominent dotted border and an outer cable border. The legend acknowledges the supreme Mongol overlord Möngke Khan, reading 'Möngke / Qa'an-i A'zam / Khudavand-i 'Alam / Padshah-i Ruy-i / Zamin, zad 'azmatuhu' (Möngke, the Great Khan, Lord of the World, King of the Face of the Earth, may his greatness increase). The lowest register bears the mint and date formula: 'Zarb sanat sitt wa khamseen wa sitt-mi'a' (Struck in the year 656 AH). The script is a bold naskh, confidently struck, with the dotted inner border clearly delineating the legend field from the outer margin. |
