| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious or titular inscription enclosed within two concentric square frames, creating a characteristic geometric border design. An additional marginal Arabic inscription runs along the outer edges between the inner concentric squares and an enclosing circle. The overall composition is typical of Ottoman-period hammered gold coinage, with the squared cartouche motif reflecting established Anatolian and North African mint traditions. |
