| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan of irregular outline bearing the sultanic titulature arranged in a circular legend in Arabic script, reading continuously around the field. A small star or pellet device occupies the central field, serving as the focal point of the design. The lettering is rendered in a compressed, angular style typical of late 15th-century Ottoman copper coinage. The overall composition is characteristic of the mangir denomination, with the circular arrangement of the sultan's name and titles distinguishing this type from the linear format found on later issues. |
