| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan of irregular polygonal form bearing a three-line Arabic mint and date inscription centrally placed in the field. The legend reads 'Duriba / Dimashq / 1032' (Struck / Damascus / AH 1032), presented in bold naskh script within a rectangular cartouche-like arrangement framed by decorative lines. The mint name 'Dimashq' (Damascus) is prominently displayed in the central line, with the regnal year rendered in Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals in the lower register. The reverse design is consistent with standard Ottoman provincial hammered coinage of the early 17th century. |
