Reverse description	Hammered gold flan with a bold multi-line Arabic legend filling the entire field, presented in the characteristic Ottoman sultani style with no central image. The inscription proclaims the sovereign's titles as 'Sultan of the two lands and Khagan of the two seas, the Sultan son of the Sultan,' a standard Ottoman imperial titulature. The lettering is deeply struck in raised relief with characteristic fluid calligraphic strokes. A border of small pellets runs along the coin's irregular circumference where the flan allows. On certain specimens a شرط (condition/control) mark appears within the legend field on this side.
