| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within the field, reading 'Azza nasruhu, duriba fi Qustantiniyya, sanat 928' (May his victory be glorious, struck in Constantinople, the year 928 AH). The legend is executed in a compact, angular hand consistent with Ottoman chancery script of the early sixteenth century. The flan edges are irregular and somewhat clipped, a characteristic feature of hammered manghir coinage. Surfaces show heavy green patination and porosity, with partial legibility of individual letter groups. No decorative border is discernible on this face. |
