| Reverse description | Central field filled with multiple horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic script enclosed within a beaded border that follows the irregular round flan. The inscriptions are arranged in stacked lines across the die area, consistent with the Almoravid-influenced epigraphic style adopted by the Córdoban taifa ruler Hamdin b. Muhammad. Individual letter forms are bold and slightly compressed to fit the small module of the qirat denomination. Marginal text partially visible along the coin's edge. The flat, unadorned field background is characteristic of hammered Andalusian fractional silver. |
