| Reverse description | Royal equestrian figure depicted in right-facing profile, the rider seated upon a walking horse and brandishing a whip or riding crop raised in the right hand; a dynastic tamgha symbol occupies the left field. A Chorasmian legend in cursive script surrounds the central device, distributed across the upper and lower portions of the field. The design is executed in the characteristic flat, linear style of late Afrighid bronze coinage, with the horse rendered in stylized form typical of the Sogdian-influenced artistic tradition of the region. |
