1 Akce - Murad III

Beschrijving voorzijde	Central field bearing the sultanic tughra-style inscription in Arabic script arranged in multiple horizontal lines within a dotted border. The legend reads the ruler's name and patronymic in the traditional Ottoman formula. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered akce coinage, with slightly ragged edges and uneven relief. The Arabic calligraphy is executed in a compressed, angular style characteristic of Ottoman provincial mint production of the late sixteenth century.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a dotted border, recording the pious formula, mint name, and AH regnal date. The legend identifies the place of striking as Tunis and gives the Hijri year 986, corresponding to 1579 CE. The flan is irregularly shaped and of uneven thickness, consistent with hand-hammered Ottoman provincial coinage. The calligraphy is tightly compressed, with the numerical date rendered in Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals visible in the lower register.
