| Reverse description | Central rectangular cartouche containing a multi-line Arabic legend in naskh script, framed by a ruled border with angular corners, bearing the royal titulature and name of the issuing ruler. The text reads the sultan's titles and name, Hamza Bahadur Khan, followed by the benedictory phrase 'may his reign be eternal.' A lower marginal inscription panel records the mint name Bayburt and the Hijri date 845, providing the precise date and place of issue. The overall layout is consistent with Aq Qoyunlu coinage conventions, with bold angular script filling the rectangular field. The broad outer margin shows traces of additional marginal text consistent with the obverse religious legends. |
