| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic-script tughra inscription in bold, deeply struck calligraphic style, naming Sultan Mustafa son of Mehmed with the regnal prayer 'may his possession last.' Below a horizontal dividing line, the mint name Edirne (Adrianople) and the Hijri accession year 1106 are recorded. The legends fill the flan with characteristic Ottoman hammered-coin density, leaving virtually no open field. The coin is enclosed by a rope or cable border running along the full circumference. |
