| Reverse description | Central field displays a two-line Arabic inscription set within a square frame circumscribed by a circle, mirroring the compositional arrangement of the obverse. Geometric ornamental devices occupy the interstices between the square cartouche and the outer circular border. The inscription reads 'wa ud / din', completing the royal epithet 'Mu'izz ud-duniya wa ud-din' (Strengthener of the world and of the faith). The style is consistent with the formulaic epigraphic coinage of the Ghurid sultans, emphasizing religious and political legitimacy. |
