| Reverse description | The reverse presents a fully inscribed field in flowing nastaʿlīq script, with multi-line Persian and Arabic legends arranged concentrically and in the central field, typical of Shaybanid-era tanka coinage from Bukhara. The legends, referencing Islamic formulae and the ruler's titles, cover the entire surface of the flan without a defined border. The hammered flan shows irregular edges and surface granularity characteristic of sixteenth-century Central Asian silver issues. |
