Obverse description Central field bearing the tughra-style royal inscription of Sultan Mehmed IV in Arabic script, arranged in multiple lines within a dotted border. The legend identifies the ruler by name and patronymic, reading 'Sultan Mehmed Khan ibn Ibrahim.' The lettering is bold and cursive in the Ottoman chancery tradition, characteristic of hammered provincial coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of mid-17th century Tripolitan copper issues.
