Reverse description Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic Kalima (Islamic profession of faith) inscription arranged in horizontal registers, executed in a bold, angular script characteristic of early Mongol-period coinage. The legend is enclosed within a plain rectangular frame, below which additional marginal inscription elements are partially visible near the lower rim. The flat, irregular flan and weak strike in areas are consistent with hammered production at a provincial Mongol mint. The reverse design follows established Islamic monetary tradition, affirming the faith of the issuing authority.
