| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic legend in bold hammered relief set within the irregular flan, conveying the mint name, regnal piety formula, and AH date. A vertical dotted inner border runs along one side of the field, characteristic of Ottoman provincial mint issues of this period. The inscription confirms the striking location as Amid (modern Diyarbakır) and records the Hijri year 982 (1574 CE), with the pious invocation calling for the perpetuation of the sultan's reign and sultanate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Murad III ascended the throne in 1574 following the death of Selim II, and the Amid mint — operating in the city known today as Diyarbakır in southeastern Anatolia — was one of the provincial mints activated or reconfirmed under his early reign to assert administrative control over the region. Provincial silver of this period is frequently underrepresented in major collections relative to Istanbul-struck issues, partly because scholarly focus has historically centered on the capital's output.
Amid sat on a critical trade and military corridor between Anatolia and the eastern frontier, and its mint production reflected the empire's need for locally circulating silver rather than long-distance coin movement from the center.
