Reverse description Central field features a stylised tree or palm motif rising from a rectangular base or throne-like plinth, flanked by two figures or foliate scrolls in low relief, all enclosed within a raised inner circle. A circular Arabic legend runs between the inner circle and the outer border, recording the mint name Qrim, the date expressed in the Chinese animal cycle as the Year of the Black Cow (664 AH / 1265 AD), and a benedictory formula. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, as is typical of hammered Golden Horde dirhams of this emission. The composition and layout reflect the hybrid Mongol-Islamic artistic tradition prevalent in Crimean mint issues of the reign of Berke Khan.
