| Reverse description | A stacked multi-line Arabic legend occupies the central field, reading 'Azza Nasruhu / Duriba fi Qustantiniyya / 1327' (May he be victorious / Struck in Constantinople / 1327). The inscription is framed within an ornate wreath composed of crescent moons and five-pointed stars arranged in a lobed cartouche, evoking Ottoman imperial symbolism. Floral rosettes punctuate the junctions of the crescents, and the entire design is enclosed by a finely beaded border. |
