| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend struck in bold relief on an irregular hammered flan, conveying the mint and regnal date. The inscription records the pious phrase invoking victory for the sultan, followed by the mint name Misr (Egypt) and the AH date 1049 (1640 CE). The field is plain and unadorned, consistent with the austere epigraphic style of Ottoman provincial silver coinage of this period. |
