Reverse description Circular field featuring a multi-line Arabic calligraphic inscription divided by a horizontal rule into upper and lower registers, reading 'Struck in Algeria 1237' (AH), referencing the Hijri mint date. The text is executed in a bold, angular script characteristic of Algerian Ottoman coinage. A beaded border encircles the entire design, consistent with the obverse. The irregular flan and slightly off-center strike are typical of the hammered production technique employed at the Algiers Mint.
