| Reverse description | Central field divided into three horizontal registers of Arabic inscription within a lobed cartouche. The uppermost line bears the ruler's honorific title 'Al-Sultan al-A'zam' (The Most Supreme Sultan), the middle line gives the ruler's name 'Abu Sa'id', and the lower line records the mint name 'Astarabad'. The flan is irregular and slightly oval, consistent with hand-hammered Timurid quarter-tanka coinage struck at the Astarabad mint during AH 855-873. |
