| Reverse description | Reverse of the host Ottoman 20 Para, bearing the mint and date legends in Arabic script, largely obscured by the applied Greek countermark. The countermark, punched in a rectangular or cartouche-shaped incuse stamp, displays the Greek letters ΚΘΕΠ arranged in quadrants divided by a cross, consistent with provisional Greek monetary countermarks applied to foreign copper coinage for local circulation. The underlying Ottoman Arabic legends and regnal year are partially visible around the countermark impression. The coin exhibits significant wear and green cuprous patination across the entire surface. |
