| Obverse description | Arabic inscription 'Duriba' (ضرب, meaning 'Struck') displayed in stylized script at the center of the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The hammered flan shows typical irregularity of the period, with the legend occupying the majority of the central area. The overall design is simple and functional, consistent with provincial Ottoman coinage of the early 19th century. |
