| Reverse description | Hammered field displaying a two-line Arabic legend reading 'Muhammad bin / al-Hasan', identifying the ruler by his patronymic lineage in accordance with Ismaili dynastic convention. The script is informal and compressed, consistent with the small flan and the hand-struck technique characteristic of Alamut fractional silver issues. The reverse flan is irregular and slightly off-center, with the legend partially visible toward the edges. |
