| Reverse description | Central field filled with a multi-line Arabic honorific legend in stylized Ottoman script, reading 'Sultan ul-Barrayn wa Khakan ul-Bahrayn es-Sultan ibn es-Sultan,' proclaiming the ruler as sovereign of the two lands and khagan of the two seas. The text is arranged in bold, densely packed lines across the full width of the flan, enclosed within a plain inner circle and a beaded outer border consistent with the obverse. The overall design follows the standard typology of large-module Ottoman billon issues of the late eighteenth century. |
