Reverse description The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription in thuluth script arranged in horizontal registers across the full field, giving the mint name, regnal year, and epithets of the sultan. A fine beaded border runs along the circumference of the coin's edge. The flan is slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck Ottoman gold coinage of the late sixteenth century, and the legends are boldly struck with characteristic calligraphic flourishes.
