| Reverse description | Central field bearing a three-line Arabic legend in compressed calligraphic script, giving the invocatory phrase, mint name, and regnal year. The inscription reads 'izza nasruhu / duriba fi Halab / sana 1003', meaning 'May his victory be glorious / Struck in Aleppo / Year 1003'. A dotted border of raised pellets encircles the central legend, consistent with standard Ottoman provincial akçe typology. The flan is irregular in outline, as is typical of hand-struck Ottoman small silver coinage of this period. |
