| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan of irregular, roughly polygonal form bearing a three-line Arabic inscription in the field. The legend reads 'al-Sultan / Murad ibn Ahmad Khan / 'Azza nasruhu' (The Sultan / Murad son of Ahmad Khan / May his victory be glorious), rendered in bold naskh script. The text is centrally positioned within the coin's field, with no border or decorative frame. The surface shows characteristic die-struck relief typical of Ottoman hammered coinage, with natural flan irregularities and die wear visible throughout. |
