| Reverse description | The reverse carries an Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in multiple lines across the field, referencing the Seljuk overlord Mahmud ibn Muhammad, reflecting the vassal relationship and political context of Georgian coinage of this period. The inscription is set on an irregularly shaped flan with flat, worn fields typical of hammered copper issues. The lettering is angular and characteristic of early twelfth-century Kufic script as employed on Georgian anonymous bronzes. Surfaces show natural patination consistent with age and circulation. |
