Reverse description Central pellet encircled by a two-line Arabic legend reading 'Khalifat Allah', mirroring the obverse composition and arranged concentrically within the field. A stylized decorative element, likely a schematic bow or vegetal motif, is positioned beneath the central dot, echoing the obverse design. The inscription is executed in an angular script consistent with early Ilkhanid and Great Mongol coinage conventions. The overall design reflects the minimalist, text-dominated aesthetic characteristic of Mongol-period Islamic dirhams struck in Central Asia during the reign of Ögedei Khan.
