| Reverse description | Reverse field struck with Arabic legends in multiple lines identifying the mint and regnal year. The inscription, characteristic of Ottoman akçe coinage, records the mint name Halab (Aleppo) and the accession year in Arabic numerals. The text is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the script exhibiting typical hammered relief on a plain, flat field. The irregular flan edges reflect standard hand-striking technique of the period. |
