| Obverse lettering | محمد بن مراد خان (Translation: MEHMED SON OF MURAD KHAN) |
| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying a bold multi-line Arabic legend filling the field, enclosed by a single linear border that follows the irregular contour of the flan. The inscription names the mint city of Konya and includes the pious formula invoking the perpetuity of the sultan's reign, rendered in the angular Ottoman script style typical of mid-fifteenth century copper issues. Die alignment and strike are slightly off-centre, consistent with hand-struck production at a provincial Anatolian mint. |
