| Reverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic inscription in ornate thuluth calligraphy indicating the mint name Constantinople (Kostantiniyye / قسطنطينية) along with the words 'ضرب' (struck/minted) and additional regnal or denominational text. The inscription is arranged in stacked horizontal lines within a recessed central area. The entire border is filled with a continuous band of Arabic legends in flowing script, mirroring the obverse treatment. A fine beaded rim frames the design. The overall layout reflects the formal Ottoman imperial mint style of the late Tanzimat and post-Tanzimat eras. |
