| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a three-line Arabic mint and date legend in thuluth script set across the field, reading 'Struck in Egypt 1115' (AH 1115 / AD 1703), with a horizontal dividing line separating the mint name from the regnal year. The field is flat and lightly granular, consistent with hand-struck Ottoman provincial coinage. Two post-mint piercings are visible, consistent with those on the obverse, confirming secondary use as a jewelry piece. |
