| Obverse description | Crude hammered silver flan bearing the tughra or royal cipher of Sultan Murad III rendered in bold Arabic calligraphy, occupying the central field. The inscription is executed in a dense, interlocking Thuluth script typical of late sixteenth-century Ottoman akçe coinage. The irregular planchet exhibits the characteristic uneven edges and slightly convex surfaces associated with hand-struck Ottoman small silver. Portions of a marginal legend are visible around the periphery, though partially off-flan due to the small coin diameter. |
