| Reverse description | The reverse displays Arabic inscriptions arranged in multiple lines across the field, with a prominent cross-shaped dividing element separating portions of the legend into quadrants. Small pellets or dots are disposed around the central motif and along the inner border, forming a decorative punctuation typical of North African billon coinage of this period. A beaded or toothed inner circle frames the design. The overall composition is characteristic of the debased coinage struck under Abdelkader's authority, reflecting both Ottoman numismatic tradition and local Algerian practice. |
