Reverse description Central device consisting of a six-pointed star (hexagram) rendered in raised relief against a plain field, with small pellets or ornamental elements filling the interstices between the star points. The design is characteristic of Mamluk fals coinage of the mid-14th century, serving as a decorative and identifying emblem. The irregular hammered flan exhibits typical edge chipping and surface granularity. The motif is boldly struck, though slightly off-center, as is common for hand-struck copper issues of this period.
