| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan bearing a bold Arabic legend disposed in three lines across the field, reading 'Duriba / bi-Misr / Sana 974' (Struck in Egypt, year 974 AH). The script is rendered in a robust, deeply incuse Naskh style typical of Ottoman provincial mint production. The irregular flan shows the characteristic surface texture and edge irregularities associated with hand-struck coinage. No decorative border or ornamental elements are present, the entire field being occupied by the mint and date inscription. |
