| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a two-line Arabic legend giving the mint and Hijri date, reading 'Struck in Algeria 1237,' enclosed within a dotted inner border that mirrors the irregular outline of the hammered flan. The inscription is executed in a bold, fluid calligraphic style consistent with the Algerian Ottoman provincial mint tradition. Floral or foliate elements are visible in the lower portion of the field, serving as decorative fillers around the legend. The overall layout and die workmanship are characteristic of the Algiers Mint output during the final decades of the Regency period. |
