| Reverse description | Central field filled with a dense, multi-line Arabic inscription in naskh script, conveying the honorific epithet of the sultan as 'striker of gold, the glorious and victorious in land and sea.' The legend is arranged in several registers across the flan, enclosed within a dotted circular border consistent with standard Ottoman sultani coinage of the period. The hammered strike produces an uneven surface with slight flan irregularities typical of mint production at Aleppo during the reign of Murad III. |
