| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line Arabic legend in the central field, citing the name of the Tunisian Bey Muhammad II and the mint city Tunis, with the Hijri date 1272 inscribed below. The inscription is enclosed within a prominent wreath of olive or laurel branches that encircles the entire field, tied at the base with a decorative knot or floral ornament, consistent with the typology of mid-19th-century Tunisian copper coinage. The raised lettering is clearly delineated against the plain recessed field, in the thin-legend style. |
