| Reverse description | Central field bearing a three-line Arabic legend naming the Tunisian Bey Muhammad al-Sadiq and the mint city of Tunis, with the Hijri date displayed in a separate cartouche at the base, all enclosed within an open olive and laurel wreath tied at the foot with a ribbon. The inscription identifies the issuing authority as Muhammad al-Sadiq Bey in Tunis. Below the main legend, the Hijri year appears in Eastern Arabic numerals within a floral frame formed by the lower branches of the wreath. A continuous milled border frames the design. The overall composition reflects the dual-authority coinage tradition of Ottoman-era Tunisia, combining the name of the Ottoman Sultan on the obverse with that of the vassal Bey on the reverse. |
