| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field divided into multiple horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic inscription, typical of early Abbasid fals coinage, with the name or title of the governor Ismail bin Ali referenced within the legend. The angular Kufic script fills the die area in a dense, structured arrangement bordered by a single linear circle, with fragmentary marginal inscriptions around the outer edge of the flan. The reverse fabric is consistent with hammered production on an irregular copper flan, displaying natural die wear and a dark patina over the raised lettering. The overall style conforms closely to the epigraphic fals type introduced under the early Abbasid governors of the eastern provinces. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ismail ibn Ali was a cousin of the first Abbasid caliph, al-Saffah, and served as governor of a key eastern province during the dynasty's foundational decade — the years immediately following the Abbasid revolution of 750, which ended nearly a century of Umayyad rule. Copper fals of this period were locally administered issues, with governors exercising considerable autonomy over provincial copper coinage while gold and silver remained more tightly controlled from the center.
Album 338 covers a transitional moment before Abbasid monetary administration had fully consolidated its regional structures.
