| Reverse description | Hammered reverse bearing the Islamic shahada legend distributed across the field, with the mint name 'Taliqan' (ضرب تاليقان) recorded in the lower portion. The Kufic-influenced Arabic inscription reads 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah,' affirming the Sunni Islamic profession of faith standard on Khwarezmian coinage. The die work is rough and compressed, reflecting the itinerant and emergency nature of Jalal ad-Din's minting activity during his resistance against the Mongol invasion. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of billon jitals struck at provincial mints during this period. |
