Letter on the reverse would be حـ (ḥāʾ). There is a coin of imám an-Násir-li-dín Alláh Aḥmad with the name of Ḥasan (حسن) in full*, which was shortened due to lack of space on reduced size coins listed here. Coins with laqab an-Násir-li-dín Alláh could be struck during Aḥmad's lifetime.

According to Dr. Gerd-Rüdiger Puin in "Early Rassid Daráhim Asdás: Numismatic, palaeographic and historical aspects.", p. 12, No. 3.a coin with Ḥasan (حسن) belongs to the son of imám al-Ḥasan b. Aḥmad, who as imám struck coins with laqab al-Muntakhab.
