| Reverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered silver flan with an Arabic calligraphic legend in nasta'liq script densely covering the entire field, recording the mint, regnal year, and additional pious or royal formulae. The inscription is executed in bold, sweeping strokes with characteristic Central Asian calligraphic flourishes, the letterforms tightly interlaced across the flan. A border or marginal inscription encircles or frames the central text, partially visible along the periphery. The coin's irregular shape and variable relief are consistent with the hand-struck technique employed at the Khiva mint during this reign. |
