| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line Arabic inscription arranged horizontally across the field within a plain border, with a row of pellets visible along the left margin. The bold Naskh-style lettering reads 'Muhammad bin / al-Sultan / Tekish', identifying the issuer as Muhammad, son of Sultan Tekish, the Khwarazmshah. The legend is struck in high relief on the irregular billon flan, with the script showing the characteristic angular rendering of early 13th-century eastern Islamic coinage. The field surrounding the inscription is plain and slightly concave due to the hammered technique. |
