| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in three or four horizontal registers within the coin field, executed in angular Kufic-influenced script typical of Khwarezmian jitals of this period. The legend records the ruler's titles and name, referencing Sultan 'Ala al-Din Muhammad. The strike is characteristic of hammered billon coinage, with an irregular flan and uneven surface relief. No border or decorative framing elements are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muhammad II's Khwarezmian Empire was, by 1218, the largest Islamic state in the world — and within five years it would be functionally erased by the Mongol invasions. The decision to reject Genghis Khan's 1218 trade delegation and execute his envoys triggered a campaign of annihilation that destroyed the empire's mint cities one by one. Naghara, a secondary mint in this network, is poorly attested in the historical record, making Tye 295 attribution pieces rarer in the trade than those of the major urban mints like Samarqand or Urgench.
