Reverse description Arabic inscription contained within a square cartouche, identifying the mint, with eight decorative loops or pellets arranged around the exterior of the square border. The calligraphic legend occupies the full field within the cartouche and is struck in a bold, if somewhat crude, hammered style consistent with provincial Tripolitan copper issues of the early nineteenth century. The surrounding field displays the characteristic irregular edge of the hand-struck flan.
