Reverse description The reverse displays a two-line Arabic mint and date inscription arranged horizontally across the central field, with the text boldly struck in relief. The legend reads 'Struck in Baghdad' above the AH date 1143, identifying this as a product of the Baghdad mint during the reign of Mahmud I. The field is plain with no decorative border, and the flan exhibits the characteristic irregular outline of a hand-struck hammered coin. The lettering is rendered in a compact, rectilinear Naskh script consistent with Ottoman provincial mint practice of the period.
