| Reverse description | The reverse displays a three-line Arabic inscription arranged horizontally across the field, reading the mint and regnal year formula in a bold, archaic calligraphic style typical of Ottoman provincial coinage struck in Egypt. An arched cartouche device appears at the top of the field, framing the uppermost line of text. The mint name 'Misr' (Egypt) and the Hijri date 1203 are legible in the lower registers, with the regnal year appearing as a numeral above or adjacent to the main legend. The overall design is characteristic of the Misr (Cairo) mint output during the reign of Selim III. |
