| Reverse description | Broad, irregularly shaped gold flan bearing two struck impressions of the zeri mahbub nisfiye (half zeri mahbub) reverse die side by side, each impression contained within a beaded border. Each circular strike carries the Arabic dynastic legend in multiple lines within the field, identifying the sultan's titles. The overall presentation across the broad flan demonstrates the pattern nature of this piece, struck twice on each side using the standard half zeri mahbub dies to achieve the combined weight of a double unit. |
