| Reverse description | Three-line Greek inscription filling the field, reading ΚΕРО / ΑΜΗΡ / ΓΑΖΙ, identifying the issuer as Amir Ghazi in a transliteration of the Arabic title into Greek characters. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, arranged horizontally across the flan within a simple border. The use of Greek script reflects the syncretic numismatic tradition of the Danishmendid rulers, who adopted Byzantine coin types while asserting their own Islamic titles. |
