| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the sultanic titulature is rendered in Arabic script across the field, with the name 'Mehmed' prominently centered. The legend reads in circular arrangement around the central inscription, typical of late sixteenth-century Ottoman hammered coinage. The script is bold and deeply struck, though irregularly shaped planchet edges are characteristic of the issue. The overall design conveys the sultan's royal identity and dynastic lineage in a compact, densely inscribed format. |
