| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription stacked within a lobed, cartouche-style field. The legend reads the pious invocation and mint attribution in Ottoman Turkish calligraphy, with the Hijri date 1293 displayed prominently at the base in Eastern Arabic numerals. The central inscription is framed by a scalloped inner border of arched segments alternating with reeded panels, adorned with small six-pointed stars and rosette ornaments at the junctions, all contained within a finely reeded outer rim. |
