1 Dinar - Mehmet III

Obverse description	Central field dominated by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged within a plain rectangular frame, with additional marginal inscriptions running along the outer border of the flan. The raised Arabic script, executed in the angular Kufic-influenced style typical of Ottoman provincial coinage, fills the interior register with the ruler's titles and religious formulae. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, with characteristic uneven edges and slight surface undulation consistent with hand-struck gold dinars of the late sixteenth century. A secondary inscription band is visible in the outer margin, partially truncated by the irregular flan edge.

Reverse description	Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend enclosed within a plain rectangular cartouche, mirroring the layout of the obverse. The legend, rendered in bold relief, records the mint name (Tilmisan) and the regnal year, following the standard Ottoman provincial dinar format. Marginal text surrounds the central square, with portions lost to the uneven flan periphery. The flat, lightly striated field and bold script relief are consistent with hammered gold coinage produced at the Tlemcen mint under Ottoman suzerainty in the late sixteenth century.
