| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized lion passant rendered in bold, somewhat crude relief, facing left, enclosed within a geometric interlaced border of angular knotwork design. The composition is characteristic of Anatolian beylik coinage of the mid-14th century, with the lion motif serving as a dynastic emblem. The surrounding border features interlaced geometric strapwork typical of the Menteshe mint style. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in two or three lines within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a dotted border. The legend references the ruler Ibrahim Bahadur Beg and likely includes a title or honorific in Naskh-influenced script. The inscription is boldly struck though slightly off-center on the irregular flan, with the dotted border partially visible around the periphery. The overall execution is typical of small-denomination hammered copper coinage from the Anatolian beyliks of the 14th century. |
