| Obverse description | Crude Arabic legend occupying the entire field, struck in hammered style on an irregularly shaped flan. The inscription, reading in multiple lines, bears the name and titles of Sultan Mustafa I. The lettering is characteristic of early Ottoman provincial hammered coinage, with characters exhibiting the rough, informal execution typical of Yemen Eyalet mint output. The field is heavily worn and patinated, with the legend partially legible. |
