| Reverse description | The field is enclosed within a circular border of dots with an inner circular line, within which a linear hexagram subdivides the field into six triangular and one central segment. The central segment contains the mint name and the word 'struck,' while the surrounding segments bear the Arabic date legend distributed across the compartments. The overall design follows the standard Mamluk fals typology for the Damascus mint, with the geometric hexagram serving as the principal decorative and organisational device. |
