| 背面描述 | The reverse, extremely rare and seldom documented on surviving examples, bears an Arabic inscription recording the mint name and the AH regnal year 1003 (1595 CE). The legend is struck on the flattened hairpin shank, with the mint name partially illegible or absent on most known specimens. The inscription follows the standard Ottoman mint formula, reading 'Struck in [mint name] 1003', consistent with contemporary Ottoman provincial coinage practice. The irregular surface of the wire flan results in weak or incomplete strike typical of this larin type. |

The larin was a wire-money denomination native to the Persian Gulf trade circuit, bent into a distinctive hairpin shape and used extensively in coastal commerce from the Arabian Peninsula through to India and Ceylon. Basra, as the principal Ottoman port on the Gulf, sat at the intersection of that trade and occasionally struck larins to participate in it — though such issues were loosely supervised and rarely recorded systematically, which accounts for the KM unlisted status of most provincial examples. Mehmed III came to the throne in 1595 after ordering the execution of nineteen of his brothers, the largest fratricide in Ottoman succession history.
