Reversbeschreibung	Central field bearing a six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, with the regnal year inscribed in Arabic numerals within the central hexagonal space. The year appears as part of the Ottoman AH dating system, referencing the accession year 1223 with the regnal year indicated alongside. The hammered strike produces an irregular outline, consistent with provincial Ottoman mint practice. A beaded border surrounds the design.

Zusätzliche Informationen	This copper para was struck under Ottoman suzerainty during one of the most turbulent periods in Tripolitanian history — the final years before the Karamanli dynasty collapsed entirely in 1835. By 1829, the Karamanli regime was hemorrhaging authority: a civil war between Yusuf Karamanli and his sons had fractured what remained of local governance, and the regency's coinage was increasingly erratic in both output and quality. These copper pieces circulated in a port economy heavily disrupted by the decline of the corsair trade following American and European naval interventions earlier in the century.
