| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic-script legend in bold relief, arranged in horizontal registers across the field, recording the mint name Bahçesaray and the Hijri date 1125 (corresponding to 1713 CE). The calligraphic rendering follows the traditional Islamic epigraphic style used on Crimean Khanate coinage, with interlocking letterforms filling the flan. The irregular, somewhat oval flan bears evidence of hand-hammered striking, with slightly ragged edges. A fine granular silver surface is visible in the open areas of the field. |
