Reverse description	The reverse carries a three-line Arabic inscription arranged horizontally across the central field. The regnal year numeral appears in the upper left, followed by the mint formula reading 'ضرب في مصر' (Struck in Egypt) in the upper and middle registers, with the Hijri date ١٢٥٥ (1255 AH) prominently inscribed along the lower field. The legend is contained within a fine beaded border encircling the entire reverse, consistent with the obverse treatment. The design is characteristic of Egyptian Ottoman coinage of the mid-nineteenth century.
