| Obverse description | Within a dotted beaded border, a three-line Arabic legend bearing the sultan's titulature: 'Sultan Murad ibn Selim Han.' The script is rendered in a characteristic Ottoman hand, struck on a small, irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered akçe coinage. The legends occupy the full field, with no additional decorative elements. The flan shows the characteristic irregular edge and slightly uneven strike common to this series. |

| Reverse description | Within a dotted beaded border, a multi-line Arabic legend recording the accession formula, the mint name, and the accession year 982 AH. The legend reads 'Azze Nasruhu Duriba bi [mint name] sana 982,' meaning 'May he be victorious. Struck in [mint name] in the year 982 [AH].' The mint name varies by issue, as this standard type was struck across numerous mints throughout the Ottoman Empire. The script fills the field in characteristic hammered Ottoman style, with the date appearing in the lower register. |
