Reverse description The reverse displays a four-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh/Thuluth script arranged in horizontal registers across the plain field, identifying the issuing authority. The legend reads 'al-Sultan al-Malik / al-Khalifa al-Musta'in / billah Abu al-Fadl / al-Abbas,' referencing the Abbasid Caliph al-Musta'in billah who briefly served as Mamluk Sultan of Egypt and Syria in 1412. The flan is of typical irregular hammered form with slightly ragged edges, and the legends are struck in high relief with characteristic Mamluk calligraphic style.
