| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription in angular Kufic script, arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's face. The legend invokes divine support for the ruler and is characteristic of the Qandhari damma series issued in Sind during the early 10th century. The flan is small, thin, and irregular in outline, consistent with locally produced hammered silver coinage of the period. Strike definition is uneven, with some letter forms partially visible toward the edges. No marginal inscription or decorative elements are present. |
