Reverse description The reverse displays a two-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script set within a rectangular panel or linear frame, divided horizontally by a bold ruled line, with the upper register bearing one line of text and the lower register a second line. A double circular border surrounds the inscribed field, with a marginal legend running along the inner rim. The epigraphy likely records the name and titles of the Artuqid ruler Fakhr al-Din Il-Ghazi I along with a religious formula, consistent with contemporaneous Islamic fractional coinage of the Jazira region.
