| Reverse description | Five lines of Arabic inscription occupy the central field, arranged in a formal, symmetrical layout typical of Ottoman Egyptian coinage of this period. The text reads: 'Azz Nasruhu' (May his victory be glorious) at the top, followed by 'Duriba fi' (Struck in), 'Misr' (Egypt/Cairo), the regnal year number (year of reign), and the Hijri date 1277 at the base. The legends are rendered in a clear Naskh script, enclosed within a finely reeded border. |
