| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in the central field, recording the regnal phrase and AH date within a cartouche or panel. A rectangular or round countermark bearing the legend 'Adl Samarqand 899' (meaning 'Justice of Samarqand, year 899 AH') is applied to the field, serving as an official validation mark. The surrounding area shows the irregular flan edges characteristic of hammered copper coinage. The strike is uneven, with some weakness at the margins, but the countermark impression is relatively distinct. |
