Reverse description Central field displays a two-line Arabic Kufic inscription in bold horizontal registers reading 'Muhammad rasul Allah' (Muhammad is the Messenger of God), completing the Islamic profession of faith initiated on the obverse. The script is angular and compact, consistent with the Kufic style employed on Qandhari dirhams of Sind. The flan is small, thick, and irregularly shaped, with the strike slightly off-center, typical of hand-hammered minor silver denominations of this series. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional symbols, mint name, or date.
