| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic tughra-style inscription in bold relief, naming the sultan as 'Sultan Mehmed bin Murad Khan, may he be victorious,' followed by the mint name Tunis and the AH date 1003. The lettering is rendered in a dense, flowing Naskh script characteristic of Ottoman hammered gold coinage. The entire inscription is enclosed within a beaded inner border, itself set within the irregularly shaped flan edge typical of hand-struck Ottoman sultani gold pieces. |
