Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in flowing calligraphic script occupying the entire field, recording the mint name and regnal year. The legend reads 'Struck in Tripoli West' (ضرب في طرابلس غرب) with the AH date 1223 and regnal year 20 disposed across three lines. A beaded border encircles the inscription. The broad, irregular flan and crude strike are consistent with provincial Ottoman hammered coinage of this period.
