Reverse description Central field featuring a six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, inscribed within a circular border, a decorative device commonly employed on Mamluk fulus. Within or adjacent to the geometric cartouche, the mint name Hamah (بحماة) is inscribed in Arabic Naskh script, identifying the place of issue. The overall composition is typical of provincial Mamluk copper coinage, with the geometric frame serving as both ornamental and organizational element. The flan is irregular and the strike is slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered production.
