| Obverse lettering | فی بضع سنین لله الامر من قبل و من بعد و یومئذ یفرح المومنون بنصر الله ینصر من یشاء و هو العزیز الرحیم بالثنا لله القدرة و العظمة و منه السعادة و النعمة المنصور رافع بن هرثمه و البها |
| Reverse description | The reverse field presents a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script arranged in horizontal registers reading: 'bi'l-barakat / la ilaha illa Allah / Muhammad rasul Allah / al-Mu'tamid 'ala Allah / al-Mu'tadid billah / wa'l-ghabta', incorporating the Islamic profession of faith alongside the honorific names of the Abbasid caliphs al-Mu'tamid and al-Mu'tadid. The reverse margin carries a Qur'anic citation from Surah 48 (al-Fath), verses 1–2, proclaiming the manifest victory granted by God, inscribed continuously around the circumference in the epigraphic tradition of Abbasid-period gold coinage. The dual caliphal attribution reflects the transitional co-regency period of the late Abbasid court, rendered in the characteristic angular Kufic script of ninth-century eastern Islamic mints. |
