| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription containing the Shahada followed by the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs, all enclosed within a beaded circular border. The legends are arranged in compressed horizontal registers, rendered in a bold calligraphic hand consistent with early Ottoman epigraphy. The flat, unadorned field shows typical characteristics of hammered silver coinage, including minor striking irregularities and die misalignment. The reverse design reflects the religious and dynastic legitimacy claims of the early Ottoman rulers, invoking both Sunni orthodoxy and Rashidun succession. |
