Reverse description Central device in the field depicting a toughra or stylized floral/vegetal ornament with a crown-like element at the top, rendered in low to medium relief on an irregular copper flan. The design appears as a schematic emblem, possibly a simplified representation of the Ottoman toughra or a decorative mint badge, surrounded by a plain field with no peripheral legend. The striking is characteristic of provincial hammered coinage, with the planchet exhibiting a distinctly uneven, clip-like outline. The overall execution is bold but somewhat crude, consistent with Tripolitan mangir production of the AH 1109 (1697) era.
