| Reverse description | The reverse features an inverted linear endekalobe (eleven-lobed) border framing the central field, with a small fleur-de-lis ornament issuing from each point of the lobe. The mint formula is inscribed in Arabic across the field within this decorative framework. The overall composition is characteristic of Mamluk provincial fals coinage, combining geometric and floral decorative elements with the essential epigraphic content. The hammered flan displays surface porosity and corrosion consistent with a copper coin of this period. |
