| Reverse description | Reverse displays multiple concentric registers of Kufic Arabic legend filling the entire field within a single circular border, consistent with provincial Abbasid dirham typology. The inscriptions name the issuing authority al-Mismar ibn Salm and include the Quranic verse of proclamation (Sura 9:33). The relief is flat and somewhat worn, reflecting circulation use. The irregular, partially clipped flan results in portions of the marginal legend being absent at the edges. |
