Obverse description Hammered silver field bearing the sultan's tughra of Murad III in Arabic script, rendered in the characteristic Ottoman calligraphic style. The inscription is densely composed within the irregular flan, with upward-projecting strokes typical of the tughra form. The legends are struck in relief against a flat, unadorned field, showing the characteristic irregular outline of a hand-struck akçe.
