| Reverse description | Central square cartouche containing the Kalima (Islamic profession of faith) rendered in bold Naskh script, set within a rectilinear border that divides the coin surface into four marginal segments. Each of the four peripheral segments contains the name of one of the four Rashidun caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali), as was customary on Aq Qoyunlu silver coinage. The overall layout follows the standard religious and dynastic typology of late fifteenth-century Turkmen coinage, with the geometric framing providing a formal architectural quality to the design. |
