| Obverse description | Central field features a multi-line Arabic legend bearing the name and titles of Sultan Selim II, enclosed within two concentric squares. A surrounding circular border frames the design, with an additional Arabic inscription in the marginal area noting the coin's purity and the regnal year. The lettering is characteristic of Ottoman hammered coinage, executed in a bold Thuluth-influenced script. |
