Reverse description The reverse displays multiple horizontal registers of Arabic script filling the field, recording the mint name, regnal year (AH), and Islamic profession of faith or royal epithet. A horizontal line divides the field into clearly defined zones of text. The border consists of a plain rim shaped by the irregular edges of the hammered flan. The bold, flowing calligraphy is typical of Ottoman gold sultani issues struck at Misr (Cairo), reflecting the established epigraphic style of the period.
