| Reverse description | The reverse displays a debased imitation of the Golden Horde dirham reverse type, dominated by a broad horizontal band or bar motif dividing the field, with rows of stylized comb-like or tooth-shaped elements filling both the upper and lower registers. This degenerate rendering of the original Arabic Kufic inscription from Jani Beg Khan dirhams is characteristic of the Kyivan penyaz series, where legibility of the Arabic text has been entirely abandoned in favor of decorative pattern. The flan is irregular and the strike is uneven, consistent with primitive hammered production at the Kyiv mint under Vladimir Olgerdovich. |
