| Reverse description | Reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in thuluth script arranged in horizontal registers, recording the mint name (Dimashq) and the regnal year (AH 1032) of Sultan Murad IV. A dotted or beaded inner border frames the legend, consistent with Ottoman sultani coinage of the early seventeenth century. The irregular flan shape and hammered surfaces are characteristic of provincial Ottoman gold issues struck at Damascus. |
