| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan displaying a two-line Arabic legend in the field. The inscription reads 'سلطان عظم / تفليس' (Sultan Azam / Tiflis), struck in bold relief with characteristic early Ottoman calligraphic style. The flan is irregularly shaped with rough, uneven edges typical of provincial hammered coinage. The surfaces show heavy patination consistent with age and circulation, with the lettering remaining partially legible despite wear. |

The calligraphy is in a typical early Ottoman provincial style, with the mint name 'Antalya' prominently placed in the lower line.
