| Reverse description | Multi-line Arabic legend in Kufic script occupying the central field, divided by a horizontal line into two registers, a layout common to Khwarazmian jitals of this period. The upper register bears the opening words of the royal titulature, with a crescent and pellet ornament visible at the top of the field. The lower register continues the honorific inscription attributing glory to the faith and the world. The flan is irregular with slight metal flow at the periphery, characteristic of the hammered technique employed at provincial Khwarazmian mints. |
