| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylised geometric or floral ornament occupying the central field of the irregular hammered flan. The device, common on early Ottoman copper mangirs, appears as an interlaced or star-shaped pattern formed by angular strokes, surrounded by scattered pellets distributed across the flat field. The design is typical of the decorative reverse types used on provincial Ottoman copper coinage of the early sixteenth century. The planchet edges are irregular and slightly ragged, consistent with hand-cut copper flans of the period. |
