Reversbeschreibung The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the field, proclaiming the sultan's dynastic titles. The legend reads 'Sultan of the Two Lands and Khagan of the Two Seas, the Sultan, son of the Sultan,' with the regnal year 13 appearing within the text. Small decorative star-shaped ornaments are interspersed between the lines of inscription. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. The bold, deeply struck lettering is characteristic of the provincial Tripolitan mint style under Ottoman suzerainty.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Tripoli's billon coinage of this period reflects the Regency's awkward dual loyalty — nominally Ottoman, practically autonomous under the Karamanli dynasty. By 1808, Yusuf Karamanli had consolidated his rule after a brutal succession struggle that included the murder of one brother and the exile of another, and the Regency was simultaneously prosecuting its war against the United States, which would end inconclusively in 1805 — three years before this coin was struck. The billon alloy itself signals chronic silver shortages that plagued North African minting throughout the early nineteenth century.
