| Obverse description | Host coin is an Egyptian copper issue (KM-223), struck under Ottoman suzerainty, showing heavily worn Arabic legends in the lower portion of the field. The coin exhibits significant surface patination with green corrosion deposits throughout the field. Two test cuts are visible crossing the flan, consistent with period practice for verifying metal composition. The original design elements, including the tughra or royal cypher, are largely obscured by wear and environmental damage. |
