| Obverse description | Obverse bearing the royal tughra-style Arabic legend of Sultan Murad III inscribed across the field in multiple lines, executed in the characteristic dense, interlocking calligraphic style of Ottoman hammered silver coinage. The legend reads 'Sultan Murad son of Sultan Selim Shah, may his victory be glorious,' disposed across the flan in compressed thuluth script. A distinctive Seal of Solomon (six-pointed star) motif appears as a central decorative device within the field, distinguishing this as the variant type. The strike is characteristic of hammered production, resulting in slightly uneven relief across the irregular flan. No border or inner circle is present, with the inscription filling the field to the rim. |
