Below the tughra, the regnal year appears in Arabic numerals. Encircling the central device, the Ottoman revolutionary motto is rendered in Arabic script and flanked by a tied olive branch and wheat sheaf, symbolizing the ideals of the Constitutional period. The legend reads: 'Freedom, Equality, Justice' (حرية ☆ مساواة ☆ عدالة), with the regnal year noted at the base of the circle. |
