| Reverse description | Central field displays the rasul legend in Kufic Arabic script arranged in horizontal lines, reading 'Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' The inscription is enclosed within a single linear inner circle, with a marginal legend in the surrounding border. The flan is irregularly shaped and shows the typical rough fabric of Abbasid provincial copper coinage struck at al-Kufa during the reign of al-Mahdi, with extensive oxidation across the surface. |
