| Reverse description | Four-line Arabic legend set within a raised square cartouche, recording the mint name and the Hijri date of issue. The inscription reads 'Izz nasruhu / Duriba / Jazayir / Sanah / 926,' meaning 'May his victory be glorious / Struck / Algiers / Year / 926 [AH].' The hammered flan displays the typical irregular squarish outline of Ottoman provincial coinage, with a beaded border framing the cartouche. The script is boldly rendered in thuluth style, filling the field without figurative decoration. |
