| Reverse description | The reverse displays a prominent stylized floral or geometric rosette motif at centre, rendered in bold relief typical of Ottoman provincial hammered coinage. The design features interlacing arabesque or trefoil elements radiating from a central point, filling the irregularly shaped flan. This ornamental device, characteristic of Damascus mint mangir issues of the mid-sixteenth century, serves as a decorative type rather than a figural representation. The surfaces exhibit dark olive-green and brown patination over the copper-bronze fabric, with the design elements remaining clearly legible despite typical flan irregularities. |
