| Reverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a two-line Arabic mint and formula legend in the field. The inscription records the mint name Hamah (حماة) together with the word 'ضرب' (struck/minted), indicating the place of issue. The lettering is crudely executed and partially obscured by green corrosion and surface wear, characteristic of heavily circulated provincial Mamluk copper coinage. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, consistent with hand-cut planchets typical of the period. |
