| Reverse description | Hammered field bearing the Arabic mint name legend in a cursive script, distributed across the coin's surface within a roughly circular boundary. The inscription identifies the mint of Constantinople (Qustantiniyah), characteristic of Mehmed II's first reign issues struck at the imperial capital. The strike is weak and uneven in places, consistent with the irregular copper flan and hand-hammering technique of the period. The field shows natural die wear and surface patination typical of circulated 15th-century Ottoman copper coinage. |
