| Obverse description | Within a dotted border, the sultan's titulature is arranged in the field and divided into three registers by a pair of curved arc separators. The Arabic legend reads horizontally across the flan. The overall design is characteristic of early Ottoman hammered copper coinage, with an irregular flan and a beaded border encircling the central inscription. |

| Reverse description | Within a dotted border, the field contains a two-line Arabic inscription divided by two horizontal lines; the upper line bears a pious formula and the lower line records the mint name. The inscription is contained within a central circle, with a beaded border surrounding the design, consistent with standard Ottoman hammered mangir types of the mid-15th century. |
