Reverse description Within a raised circular border, a two-line Arabic inscription in cursive script occupying the central field, giving the pious formula followed by the mint name. The legends are struck in low relief on a rough, irregularly shaped copper flan. The surface shows heavy patination and die wear consistent with hammered Ottoman copper coinage of the reign of Bayezid II. The inscription reads 'Azze Nasrühu' (May his victory be glorious) above 'Duriba Tirah' (Struck in Tire).
