The legend, reading 'Sultan of the Two Lands and Khagan of the Two Seas, the Sultan, son of the Sultan,' is a standard Ottoman imperial titulature formula. The regnal year indicator '3' appears within the text, denoting the third year of the reign. The script is boldly executed in the Ottoman chancellery style, filling the entire field in a deliberate, structured layout. |
