| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the field, with the name 'Abd Allah ('عبدالله') prominently featured at the lower portion of the die. The lettering is rendered in the same bold, early Kufic style as the obverse, consistent with the Qandhari damma series issued under the Habbarid amirs of Sind. The flan is small, thick, and irregular in shape, with partial legends visible at the margins due to the irregular striking characteristic of this hammered coinage. Traces of copper corrosion are visible in the field, a common feature of silver coins from this region and period. |
