| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan of irregular shape exhibiting typical late Mamluk workmanship. The central field bears the Arabic inscription 'محمد' (Muhammad), the regnal name of Sultan al-Nāṣir Muḥammad IV, rendered in bold, somewhat angular Arabic script within a plain rectangular cartouche. The legends are struck in shallow relief against a flat, unadorned field. The flan edges are irregular and clipped, consistent with hand-struck copper coinage of the period. The surface shows heavy patination and encrustation consistent with long burial. |
