| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing Arabic calligraphic legends in the field. The inscription, executed in a bold and somewhat crude style typical of provincial Ottoman copper coinage, occupies the entire obverse surface. The legends reference the sultan's name and titulature, spread across the coin's face without a border or decorative frame. The striking is characteristic of the Damascus mint's mangir production under Selim I, with uneven relief and surface texture resulting from hand-striking. |
