| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription denoting the mint city and the regnal year, struck in bold relief across the flan. The legend references Tripoli in the West (Tarabulus Gharb) and the Hijri year 1223, identifying both the place and period of issue. A beaded border frames the design, consistent with the obverse treatment. The strike is characteristically uneven, with portions of the legend compressed or slightly weak at the edges due to the irregular hammered flan. The surface shows typical patination associated with copper Ottoman provincial issues. |
