Obverse description Arabic legend in two or three lines across the field, giving the sultan's name and titles in the tughra tradition. The inscription is struck in relief on a plain, undecorated field typical of Ottoman hammered silver coinage. The flan is irregular in shape with slightly ragged edges characteristic of hand-cut planchets. A small hole is visible at the lower-left rim, likely pierced for use as a pendant in a later period.
