| Reverse description | Five lines radiate from the center of the field, intersecting to form a five-pointed star. Arabic legends occupy the spaces between the star's points and in the outer segments; the outer legend is frequently illegible or entirely off the coin's planchet due to the irregular flan. The reverse inscription references the Abbasid Caliph Al-Muqtafi, a formulaic acknowledgment of Islamic suzerainty common on Georgian copper coinage of the period. The Kufic script is rendered in a bold, angular style consistent with 12th-century Islamic epigraphy. |
