Reversbeschreibung	The Arabic word 'Jou' (جو), denoting the denomination, occupies the central field within a raised circular border. The mint name is inscribed in the surrounding marginal legend, distributed around the inner circle. The lettering is executed in a bold, somewhat angular hand consistent with Mongol-period copper coinage. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan edge and uneven surface relief of hammered bronze issues.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Kublai Khan's early coinage from around 1260 coincides with the moment he seized the Great Khanate in open defiance of the kurultai process, sparking a civil war against his brother Ariq Böke that would consume four years. These small bronzes circulated across a monetary system in profound transition — Kublai was simultaneously pushing paper currency (jiaochao) as the dominant medium, making issues like this one peripheral almost from inception.
