Obverse description The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, fluid script, densely arranged across the flan in the characteristic Ottoman hammered style. The inscription names the sultan as Murad bin Selim Khan with an invocatory formula, followed by the mint name Tunis and the AH date 982. The legend fills the field from top to bottom with no central device, the script rendered in high relief against an irregular hammered ground. A border of small dots or pellets encircles the outer edge of the coin.
