| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan exhibiting an Arabic inscription arranged in two or three horizontal lines within the field, with additional epigraphic elements visible above and below the central legend. The lettering is rendered in a bold, angular Kufic-influenced style characteristic of Anatolian beylik coinage. The coin surface displays a patina of green corrosion consistent with prolonged burial, and the irregular flan edges reflect the primitive striking method employed. No pictorial device or border is present; the design is entirely epigraphic. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription enclosed within a double-line border or cartouche, arranged in three to four horizontal registers across the irregular flan. The script is of a simplified Kufic or early Naskh type, typical of anonymous Anatolian mangir issues of the 14th–15th centuries. Individual letters show varying degrees of clarity due to uneven striking pressure and die wear. The field surrounding the inscription is plain, and the overall composition is typical of the anonymous copper coinage struck by the Beylik of Aydin. Green and blue cuprite patination partially obscures some letterforms. |
