| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Ottoman calligraphic style, occupying the central field and reading as an honorific royal titulature of Sultan Selim III. The legend is arranged in horizontal lines within a plain inner circle, itself enclosed by a beaded border. The regnal year, expressed as the last two digits of the AH year, appears at the bottom of the inscription field. The script is crisp and well-struck, characteristic of the Islambol mint's production during this period. |
