| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious legend in Naskh script, arranged in horizontal registers and struck in bold relief. The text, characteristic of Shaybanid tanka coinage, likely contains the Shahada or Quranic formula alongside the mint name Bukhara and possibly a regnal date. A marginal legend in a smaller hand encircles the central inscription, partially visible along the inner edge of the irregular flan. The surface shows post-mint test scratches and contact marks consistent with circulation use. |
