| Reverse description | A stacked three-line Ottoman Arabic legend dominates the central field, reading 'May he be victorious / Struck in Edirne / 1327,' referencing the Hijri mint year and the Edirne (Adrianople) mint. The inscription is enclosed within a finely engraved wreath of laurel and olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A small five-pointed star appears at the apex above the wreath. The overall composition is formal and symmetrical, consistent with late Ottoman gold coinage style. |
