| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic hammered inscription occupying the full field, recording the mint name and AH date. The legend reads 'May he be victorious, struck in Sana'a, 926', arranged in stacked horizontal registers in thuluth script. A dotted border is partially visible around the periphery of the irregular flan. The strike is characteristically off-center, consistent with early sixteenth-century Ottoman provincial hammered coinage from Yemen. |
