| Reverse description | Three concentric circular legend bands surrounding a central dot within the innermost field, mirroring the obverse layout. The innermost band repeats the caliph's abbreviated title, while the middle band records the mint and date formula in the name of God, citing Makka as the place of striking and the year 363 AH. The outer band bears the Quranic verse from Sura 9:33 (al-Tawba), a hallmark of Fatimid coinage asserting the supremacy of the true religion. All legends are executed in angular Kufic script on a plain gold field. |
