| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely occupied by multi-line Arabic script in a bold, somewhat square naskh or kufic-influenced style, filling the field without a central cartouche. The Shahada occupies the central area of the legend, with the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs — Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali — disposed around them in accordance with standard Sunni Timurid coinage conventions. A partial border or rim line is visible at the periphery. The striking is characteristic of a hand-cut die on an irregular flan, with some weakness at the edges. |
