| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Ottoman script, recording the mint name and the Hijri regnal year. The legend reads 'Duriba Misr al-Mahrusa' (Struck in Egypt, the Guarded) with the Hijri date below. The inscription is set within the plain field without additional decorative border, consistent with the austere typology of Ottoman provincial copper issues. Strike is characteristically crude and off-center, with surface corrosion partially obscuring portions of the legend. |
