| Obverse description | Central field bears the sultan's titulature in Arabic script, arranged within a circle and divided by three curved arcs into distinct segments. The legend reads the full royal name and patronymic of Mehmed II. A beaded border encircles the entire design, characteristic of Ottoman hammered coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The Hijri date numerals appear within a cartouche formed by two arcs at center, with the mint name Bursa inscribed above. The full reverse inscription reads the strike formula in Arabic. A circular border with beading frames the entire composition, consistent with the standard format of Ottoman copper manghir coinage of the period. |
