| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Ottoman Turkish arranged in four horizontal registers across the coin field, enclosed within a linear frame. The legend reads the imperial titulature of Sultan Mahmud I: 'Sultan of the Two Lands and Sovereign of the Two Seas, the Sultan, son of the Sultan.' Small decorative floral or knot devices appear in the margins flanking the text. The calligraphy is executed in a bold, compact naskh-influenced script typical of early 18th-century Ottoman billon coinage. |
