| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central cartouche containing a multi-line Arabic inscription in ornate calligraphy, reading the mint formula and regnal year. The inscription is enclosed within an open wreath of olive or laurel branches that rise symmetrically from the base and frame the legends on both sides. A small star or ornament appears above the inscription at the top of the field. The mint name and Hijri date ١٣٢٧ (1327) are clearly legible within the legend. The reverse composition is characteristic of late Ottoman gold coinage, combining religious invocation with mint and date information in a balanced, formal layout. |
