| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Arabic mint and date legend in bold calligraphic script occupying the central field, reading 'Struck in Egypt' above the AH regnal year. The Hijri year 1255 appears in Arabic-Indic numerals at the base of the legend, denoting the first year of issue. The legend is enclosed within the plain circular field with no border ornament, consistent with the austere style of Egyptian provincial Ottoman coinage of this series. |
