| Obverse lettering | (Translation: Sultan Ahmed ibn Mehmed Han : `[The] Sultan Ahmed [I], son of Mehmed [III], Han`.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in angular script, arranged horizontally across the field. The legend records the accession formula 'Azze Nasrühu' (May he be victorious), followed by the mint name and the accession year 1012 AH. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, a characteristic feature of hammered Ottoman akçe coinage of this period. The field is otherwise plain, with no decorative elements. |
