| Reverse description | Reverse presents a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the central field, consistent with early Abbasid epigraphic fals coinage. A mint and date formula is likely incorporated within the legend, referencing the Sijistan mint. The script is angular early Kufic, typical of provincial copper issues struck during the Abbasid revolutionary period. A marginal legend or partial border inscription may encircle the central text panel. The flan shows typical irregularity and surface roughness associated with hammered copper coinage of this era and region. |
