| Obverse description | Central device consisting of a rosette or star motif formed by seven pellets arranged in a circular pattern, evoking a floral or stellate design. The central motif is surrounded by a series of heart-shaped or lobe-shaped ornamental elements disposed around the field, forming a decorative border. The overall design is characteristic of anonymous Ottoman copper coinage of the early sixteenth century, struck by the hammered technique on an irregular flan. The surfaces show heavy wear and patination consistent with prolonged circulation. |
