| Obverse description | Arabic legend in the field, struck on a roughly circular flan typical of hammered Ottoman copper coinage. The inscription, rendered in stylized thuluth script, occupies the central field within a plain border. The lettering exhibits the characteristic irregularity of hand-struck mangir coinage of the period, with moderate die wear evident across the surface. |

| Reverse description | Arabic inscription filling the reverse field, struck on an irregular hammered flan with surface patination consistent with prolonged circulation. The legend is distributed across the field in typical Ottoman mangir fashion, with the mint name Bursa and related formulaic text. The die alignment and strike quality reflect the utilitarian nature of base-metal coinage produced under Mehmed II. |
