| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend in four horizontal registers, separated by ruled lines and enclosed within a beaded border matching that of the obverse. The inscriptions, executed in thuluth script, record the sultan's patronymic, the invocatory phrase for victory, and the mint name Tunis. The overall layout and style are consistent with Ottoman provincial hammered silver coinage of the early eighteenth century, emphasizing epigraphic design over figural imagery. |
