| Reverse description | Arabic inscriptions filling the field, recording the mint name Misr (Egypt), the Hijri regnal year, and the accession year 1203 AH. The legends are arranged in multiple lines across the flan in a manner typical of late Ottoman provincial hammered coinage, with the regnal year numeral (١٣ or ١٤) prominently positioned. The overall strike is weak in areas, consistent with the low-denomination billon issues of this period produced under difficult wartime conditions during the French occupation. |
