| Obverse description | Central field bearing the name of Sultan Osman II in Arabic script, rendered in a characteristic hammered style typical of Ottoman provincial copper coinage. The inscription is set within a roughly circular flan with irregular edges, as was common for mangir issues of this period. The lettering is bold and occupies the majority of the coin's surface, with no border or decorative elements framing the legend. |

| Reverse description | Reverse field bearing an Arabic inscription typical of Ottoman provincial mangir coinage, likely containing the mint name or regnal formula, struck in hammered style on an irregular copper flan. The legends are partially legible due to the crude striking technique and natural wear, with the text distributed across the central field without a formal border. The overall style is consistent with provincial Ottoman copper issues produced under Osman II's reign. |
