| Obverse description | Hammered silver field bearing the royal tughra-style inscription of Sultan Murad III in Arabic script, rendered in angular calligraphic strokes across the flan. The legend reads 'Sultan Murad ibn Sultan Selim', occupying the central field in multiple lines. The strike is characteristic of Ottoman provincial hammered coinage, with the text set within an irregular border. The surface shows typical die wear and flan irregularity consistent with hand-struck provincial issues of the period. |
