| Obverse description | Heavily worn hammered copper flan displaying Arabic script legend distributed across the field. The inscription, reading سلطان مراد بن محمد خان خلد ملكه, identifies the issuer as Sultan Murad ibn Mehmed Khan with the pious invocation 'May his Kingdom perpetuate.' The irregular flan exhibits a characteristically rough surface with patches of green cuprite patina, typical of crudely struck Ottoman copper mangir of the early 15th century. Legend placement follows standard Ottoman hammered coin convention with text arranged in multiple lines within the field. Strike is uneven, resulting in partial legibility of the inscription. |

| Reverse description | Obverse of a crudely struck hammered copper flan showing partially legible Arabic script arranged across the field in multiple lines. The surface exhibits significant wear and corrosion, with areas of green patina consistent with long-term burial or circulation. The mint name, which would ordinarily appear on this face, is illegible or absent, consistent with the attribution to an unknown mint. The rough, uneven flan edges are characteristic of Ottoman mangir production during the reign of Murad II. |
