| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing an Arabic inscription in Naskh script, arranged in multiple lines across the flan. The legend, partially struck and showing characteristic weak areas due to the irregular planchet, references the sultan's titles. The overall surface displays a green-brown patina consistent with aged copper, with visible flan irregularities and a slightly ragged edge typical of Seljuk of Rum fals coinage. |

Surface patination is dark olive-brown with areas of higher relief well preserved. |
