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. |

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. |

Novaberda — modern Novo Brdo in Kosovo — was among the most productive silver mining centers in the Balkans, and Süleyman I established a mint there shortly after Ottoman consolidation of the region. The mine itself had been fought over by Serbian despots, Ragusan merchants, and Hungarian-backed forces for decades before the Ottomans secured it definitively. At its peak, Novo Brdo's silver output rivaled anything the Habsburgs were pulling from Bohemia.
AH 926 corresponds to 1519–1520 CE, placing this issue in the early decades of Süleyman's reign, before his campaigns had fully redirected imperial attention westward toward Belgrade and Rhodes.
