Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription within the field, recording the mint name and regnal year. The legend is arranged in a compact, stacked format typical of Ottoman provincial copper coinage. The numeral ١٢٢٣ (1223 AH) appears prominently in the lower portion of the field, with the mint epithet above. A beaded or rope border frames the design at the periphery. The strike is irregular, with some weakness at the margins consistent with hammered technique.
