| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate tughra (imperial cipher) of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, rendered in flowing calligraphic style with characteristic loop and three vertical shafts. A decorative floral spray element appears to the right of the tughra. The Arabic numeral '4' appears below, indicating regnal year 4. The entire design is characteristic of late Ottoman billon coinage struck at Constantinople. |
