| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a dotted border, recording the pious formula, mint name, and AH regnal date. The legend identifies the place of striking as Tunis and gives the Hijri year 986, corresponding to 1579 CE. The flan is irregularly shaped and of uneven thickness, consistent with hand-hammered Ottoman provincial coinage. The calligraphy is tightly compressed, with the numerical date rendered in Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals visible in the lower register. |
