| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field contains a two-line Arabic inscription denoting the mint and AH date, reading 'Struck in Tunis 1147', separated by a horizontal line dividing the two registers. The script is crudely struck in the hammered tradition, with letters showing typical distortion from hand-striking on an irregular copper flan. A dotted border encircles the design, mirroring the obverse treatment. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Qafsi (from Gafsa, the inland Tunisian city) was a small copper denomination struck under Ottoman suzerainty during the regency period, when the Husainid beys operated with considerable practical autonomy despite nominal allegiance to the Sublime Porte. Mahmud I was sultan in Constantinople during this issue, lending his name to the coinage as a formal acknowledgment of that relationship — though monetary policy in Tunis was driven entirely by local bey administration.
Copper fractions of this type rarely survived circulation in presentable condition; the alloy used in Tunisian provincial mints of this period was inconsistently refined.
