| Reverse description | The reverse displays bold, deeply struck Arabic calligraphic text arranged in multiple horizontal registers across the entire field, identifying the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I and his titles. The inscription is executed in a robust, angular script with pronounced relief, the lines of text interweaving across the flan in the characteristic style of Ottoman-influenced Maghrebi hammered gold coinage. A dotted border runs along portions of the irregular periphery. The overall design is purely epigraphic, with no figural or geometric decorative elements, conforming strictly to Islamic numismatic convention. |
