| Reverse description | Reverse field filled with horizontal bands of Arabic script in Kufic style, enclosed within a plain linear border and an outer beaded or rope-like rim. The legends, arranged in multiple registers, include the Islamic profession of faith and the name of the emir Sir. The overall design is purely epigraphic, consistent with Almoravid numismatic convention, with no geometric or figurative ornamentation. The hammered strike produces moderate relief on an irregularly shaped silver flan. |
