| Reverse description | Epigraphic reverse bearing the Shahadah and the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs, rendered in Kufic script arranged within a square cartouche set against the coin's field. The name of Allah occupies the central position of the square, with the Prophetic testimony and the names Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali distributed in the surrounding registers. This layout reflects the standard Sunni confessional formula adopted on Timurid coinage, affirming orthodox Islamic legitimacy. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
