| Reverse description | The reverse presents a two-line Arabic inscription divided by a horizontal bar across the central field. The upper register bears the word ضرب (Zuriba, meaning 'struck'), with the regnal year numeral ١٠ (10, denoting the 10th year of the reign) positioned above it. The lower register reads مصر (Misr, meaning 'Egypt'), identifying the mint, with the Hijri accession year ١٢٧٧ (1277 AH) inscribed below. The composition is arranged in a formal epigraphic style typical of mid-nineteenth-century Ottoman Egyptian coinage, with the field otherwise plain. |
