Obverse description Central field dominated by the Arabic legend سلطان محمود خان (Sultan Mahmud Khan) rendered in flowing naskh script, arranged in three lines across the flan. The inscription is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the irregular hammered flan producing a characteristically uneven outline typical of provincial Ottoman copper coinage. The surfaces show a green patina consistent with aged copper.
