| Reverse description | The reverse bears a three-line Arabic Shahada inscription in bold Naskh calligraphy reading 'La ilaha illa Allah / Muhammad rasul Allah,' proclaiming the Islamic profession of faith and serving as the primary religious legend. Below the Shahada, the mint formula 'Darb Qumm' identifies the place of striking as the city of Qumm (modern Qom, Iran). A double linear border partially frames the central field, and small ornamental devices are interspersed between the lines of text. The flan is irregular and slightly cupped, reflecting the hammered technique. The overall style is consistent with standard Timurid silver coinage of the early fifteenth century. |
