| Reverse description | The reverse displays an Arabic inscription within a raised inner circle, giving the mint name Baghdad (بغداد) and the AH regnal year 1255. The legend reads 'Zarb fi Baghdad 1255' (struck in Baghdad, 1255 AH), arranged in two lines across the field, with the date rendered in Eastern Arabic numerals at the base. The coin exhibits the characteristic rough, irregular flan typical of hammered provincial Ottoman issues of this period. |
