| Reverse description | Hammered gold reverse displaying a four-line Arabic inscription in horizontal registers within a toothed border, giving the mint and regnal year. The upper register reads 'السلطان' (the Sultan), the central registers contain the sultan's name 'Mahmud' along with the phrase 'ضرب في الجزائر' (struck in Algiers), and the lowermost register bears the Hijri date numerals, visible on this example as ١٢٢٦ (AH 1226, corresponding to 1811 CE). Two suspension holes pierce the flan, consistent with those on the obverse. The epigraphy is boldly struck in the characteristic angular style of the Algiers mint. |
