| Reverse description | The reverse of the host Ottoman 20 Para (KM-668.2) displays the characteristic circular Arabic inscription surrounding a central ornamental device, with the regnal year AH1255 and accession year notation visible in the lower field. The legends, rendered in Ottoman Turkish Arabic script, encircle the field in a continuous band near the rim. The surfaces show considerable wear and green patination typical of circulated copper coinage of this period, with the relief elements partially flattened through extended use. |
