Reverse description Arabic inscription occupying the central field of the square, irregularly struck flan. The legend reads 'Khan' above the Islamic AH date in two lines, with a vertical column of pellets (beads) along the left border serving as a decorative element. The bold, somewhat roughly executed characters are characteristic of the hammered Tunisian Qafsi coinage of the early 19th century.
