| Reverse description | The Arabic numeral ٢٠ (20), denoting the denomination in para, is prominently displayed in the centre of the field. Encircling the central numeral is a continuous Arabic inscription forming a wreath-like border legend, invoking a pious acclamation and identifying the mint. The Hijri regnal year ١٢٥٥ (1255) and the mint name Constantinople (قسطنطينية) appear within the lower portion of the circular legend. A dotted or beaded inner border frames the reverse design. |
