Beschrijving keerzijde	Reverse displays a central device consisting of a stylised heraldic or symbolic emblem—possibly a lion or tughra-derived motif—set within a circular beaded inner border, with additional Arabic marginal legend running along the periphery. The central device is rendered in bold relief against a flat field, consistent with Ottoman provincial mint production of the reign of Suleiman I. The overall composition is enclosed by a dotted border, partially obscured by the irregular edge of the flan.

Aanvullende informatie	Suleiman I ascended to the throne in September 1520 following the sudden death of his father Selim I, who had radically expanded the empire's silver supply by seizing Egyptian and Syrian mints. The dirhem issued in Suleiman's early reign inherited that expanded monetary infrastructure — Constantinople, Novo Brdo, and several Anatolian mints were all active simultaneously, making attributing specific pieces to a single facility a persistent challenge for specialists without a clear mint name in the field.
