| Reverse description | Central decorative motif featuring a stylized tulip set within an octogram (eight-pointed star), rendered in relief on the irregular copper flan. The tulip, a symbol closely associated with Ottoman art and culture of the sixteenth century, is presented in a schematic, linear style characteristic of hastily struck fiscal coinage. The surrounding geometric framework of the octogram occupies the majority of the reverse field, with no additional legend or border present. |
