| Reverse description | Hammered reverse featuring the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) inscribed in multi-line Arabic Naskh script, disposed across the central field within a plain inner circle surrounded by a dotted outer border. The legend reads 'There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God,' rendered in bold raised relief typical of early Ottoman akçe coinage. The flan is irregular in shape with slightly uneven strike, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. The field surface shows natural silver patination and age-related granularity. |
