| Obverse description | Hammered copper flan of irregular round shape bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in the field. The titulature of the sultan is rendered in flowing Naskh script across two or three lines, reading 'Al-Sultan Al-Malik Al-Azam Muhammad Bayezid', identifying the ruler as Mehmed Celebi, son of Bayezid I. The lettering is bold and occupies the majority of the flan, with the strike showing characteristic weakness and irregularity typical of early Ottoman mangir coinage. No border or decorative elements are present. |

| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a multi-line Arabic legend in the field, struck on an irregular flan with characteristic early Ottoman workmanship. The inscription records the pious formula 'Khallada Mulkahu wa al-Dawla' ('May his Kingdom and his Dynasty perpetuate'), followed by the AH mint date 813, corresponding to 1411 CE. The script is Naskh, boldly rendered across the flan, with the numerals of the date visible in the lower portion of the field. The overall strike is typical of provincial hammered copper issues of the interregnum period. |
