Obverse description Central field features a raised ten-pointed star with the Arabic word 'Duriba' (struck) inscribed within its interior. The regnal year '23' in Eastern Arabic numerals appears above the star, indicating the 23rd year of the reign. The design is crudely executed in the hammered tradition, with irregular flan preparation typical of provincial Ottoman coinage. The field surrounding the star is plain and unornamented.
