| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Sultan's tughra-style Arabic inscription arranged in multiple horizontal lines, typical of Ottoman akçe coinage of the period. The legend, rendered in stylized Arabic script, contains the ruler's name and titles. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of hand-hammered silver coinage. The die-struck legends show the bold, tiered calligraphic style associated with Süleyman I issues. Surface patination and striking weakness are consistent with circulated hammered silver. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying the mint name and regnal year in Arabic script, arranged in stacked horizontal lines within a plain field. The inscription references the Novaberda (Novo Brdo) mint and the hijri year 926. The strike is characteristic of provincial Ottoman hammered coinage, with some weakness at the margins due to the irregular flan. The reverse legend follows the standard Ottoman akçe format identifying the place and date of issue. |
