| Obverse description | Central field depicts a standing human figure in low relief, rendered in a crude but distinct hammered style characteristic of early Ottoman Anatolian copper coinage. The figure appears robed and is flanked to the right by a stylized tree or plant motif with bifurcating branches. The design is set within a plain circular border. No inscriptions or legends are present, consistent with the anepigraphic classification of this issue. The flan is irregular and shows typical casting and striking irregularities of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a large, boldly rendered bird motif — most likely a stylized eagle or similar raptor — depicted with spread wings and facing left, executed in a schematic hammered relief. The design is enclosed within a beaded or dotted circular border, partially visible along the lower edge of the flan. The field surrounding the bird is plain and unadorned. No inscriptions are present, in keeping with the anepigraphic nature of this copper mangir type. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular shape and uneven surface typical of hand-hammered Ottoman copper coinage of the 15th–16th centuries. |
