Reverse description The central field displays the Kalima (Islamic profession of faith) in multiple lines of bold Arabic script, with the names of the four Rashidun caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali) arranged within the legend area, together with the denomination inscription. The design is framed by concentric raised rings separating the central text zone from the marginal legend, with the outermost border formed by a prominent pellet ring. The calligraphy is executed in a vigorous, deeply struck Naskh-influenced style consistent with Ilkhanid gold coinage of the Abu Sa'id period.
