| Obverse description | Heavily corroded copper field bearing a partially legible Arabic-script legend arranged in multiple lines across the flan. The design is typical of late 17th-century Ottoman hammered copper coinage, with the inscription occupying the central field. The surface exhibits extensive patination with green and brown encrustations obscuring fine detail. A rope or dotted border is faintly discernible around the periphery. The strike is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered provincial Ottoman manufacture. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic-script inscription arranged in four horizontal registers within a beaded or rope border encircling the entire flan. The uppermost line reads 'عز نصره' (May his victory be glorious), followed by 'ضرب في' (struck in), then 'بوسنه' (Bosna, the mint name), and finally the AH date '١٠٩٩' (1099 AH / 1688 AD) in the lowermost register. The legends are rendered in a simple, bold hand consistent with provincial Ottoman hammered coinage. The surface shows moderate to heavy green cuprous patination with some areas of encrustation. |
