| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line Arabic inscription arranged within the field, naming the reigning Bey of Tunis, Muhammad II, the mint city of Tunis, and the Hijri date. The legend is enclosed within an open wreath of olive or laurel branches tied at the base, consistent with the decorative style used across the Tunisian coinage of this period. The lettering is thick and boldly rendered, corresponding to the 'thick legend' variety as catalogued. |
