| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription contained within a raised inner square, presenting the ruler's name and titles in angular Kufic script. The square is set within a circular field, with a marginal Arabic legend running between the inner square border and the outer double linear rim. The flan is irregular and slightly cracked at the edge, typical of lead-bearing bronze jitals struck at provincial Khwarazmian mints. The composition is entirely epigraphic, with no figural elements, reflecting standard Khwarazmian monetary convention of the early 13th century. |
