Reverse description Irregular hammered square flan displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, recording the mint city of Tunis and the AH date 977. The legend reads in flowing Naskh script across three lines, with the pious invocation of victory preceding the mint and date formula. The flan is rough and slightly misshapen at the corners, consistent with hand-cut planchets used for Ottoman provincial hammered coinage. No border ornament or additional decorative elements are present beyond the inscription itself.
