Reverse description Multi-line Arabic legend filling the field, comprising the standard Ottoman mint formula reading 'May his victory be glorified / struck in / [Mint] / [Date].' The inscription is rendered in a loose, informal naskh hand consistent with the small module and hammered technique of the issue. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, with no decorative border or additional devices. Surface shows typical die wear and uneven strike characteristic of late-series Ottoman akçe coinage.
