Reverse description Within a decorative lobed cartouche reminiscent of Ottoman floral ornamental design, a two-line Arabic legend records the mint name and AH date of issue. Above the central inscription, a small tughra or floral finial device is visible at the top of the cartouche. The legend reads 'Struck in Tunis, 1256' in elegant Arabic script. The cartouche is surrounded by an open field, with a beaded inner border and a tooth-and-dot outer border consistent with the obverse.
