| Obverse description | Tuğra of Sultan Mehmed IV occupying the central field, rendered in the stylized calligraphic form characteristic of Ottoman hammered coinage. The tuğra, comprising the sultan's name and titles in interlocking Arabic script, is boldly struck across the irregular flan. The legend surrounding or integrated within the design reads in Arabic, identifying the ruler as Sultan Mehmed son of İbrahim Khan. The strike is typical of provincial Ottoman mint production, with uneven flan edges and variable depth of relief. |
