Reverse description Central field displays a prominent large Arabic letter or monogram, likely a stylised Kufic emblem or single-word legend, set within a plain inner circle. The surrounding annular zone contains a continuous Arabic marginal legend in Kufic script, separated from the central device by a plain linear border. The flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges and surface porosity consistent with hammered copper production at the Ilaq mint. The overall composition follows the standard Qarakhanid fals format of the early fifth century AH.
