| Reverse description | The mounted king is depicted in right-facing profile on horseback, rendered in a schematic but authoritative manner typical of Choresmian dynastic coinage of the middle period. Behind the horse appears the distinctive swan-shaped dynastic tamgha, serving as a royal emblem and identifying symbol of the issuing ruler. A Khwarezmian legend in the local Aramaic-derived script encircles the equestrian design within the field. The overall composition reflects the strong influence of earlier Parthian and Seleucid numismatic traditions adapted to local Central Asian iconographic conventions. |
