| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborately rendered tughra of Sultan Selim III, executed in the characteristic Ottoman calligraphic style with interlacing loops and ascending shafts. The tughra inscription fills the majority of the flan, with additional Arabic-script legends disposed around it in the field. The coin exhibits the slightly irregular flan shape and uneven strike typical of late 18th-century Ottoman hammered billon coinage. A faint border circle encloses the design. |
