| Reverse description | Central field inscribed in Arabic script in four lines bearing the mint and date formula, reading 'Izzat nasruhu / Duriba / [mint name] / Sanat 918'. The pious invocation 'May his victory be glorious' occupies the upper portion of the field, followed by the word 'Struck', the partially legible mint name, and the regnal year 918 AH (1512 AD). The layout is characteristic of early Ottoman akçe reverse design, with the legend filling the entire flan without a surrounding border. |
