| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate tughra of Sultan Mustafa III, rendered in the traditional Ottoman calligraphic style with characteristic upward scrolls and horizontal base strokes. A small star device appears to the right of the tughra in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, consistent with hammered copper coinage of the period. |
