| Reverse description | The reverse displays multiple lines of Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the coin field, characteristic of Crimean Khanate beshlik coinage. The legends, struck in a bold calligraphic hand, record the mint name Bakhchysarai and the regnal date corresponding to AH 1083 (1672 CE). The irregular, slightly clipped flan and uneven strike are consistent with hammered silver production at the Bakhchysarai mint. The surface shows light wear and die-axis rotation typical of this issue. |
