| Obverse description | Central field displays the Arabic legend in two lines reading 'Bayazid bin Murad', arranged horizontally within a rectangular frame formed by multiple parallel lines. The inscription is executed in a bold, angular script characteristic of early Ottoman epigraphy. The field surrounding the cartouche is plain, and the flan is irregular and roughly circular, typical of the hammered coinage of the period. Granular patina and surface deposits consistent with extended circulation are evident throughout. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a two-line Arabic inscription within a rectangular cartouche delineated by multiple parallel horizontal rules, reading 'Khullida Mulkuhu', a standard Ottoman pious invocation meaning 'May his reign be eternal'. The legend is rendered in the bold, somewhat cursive early Ottoman script. The surrounding field is flat and undecorated, and the flan edges are ragged and irregular, consistent with hand-struck production on an uncut copper planchet. Overall strike is moderately sharp with signs of wear and encrustation. |
