| Obverse description | Within a beaded circle, a multi-line Arabic legend presenting the titulature of the Ottoman sultan, rendered in the characteristic bold calligraphic style of hammered Ottoman coinage. The inscription fills the central field, with individual letter forms raised in high relief against a flat ground. The surrounding beaded border frames the composition and is typical of Ottoman provincial mint production of the early seventeenth century. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck hammered silver of this period. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded circle, a multi-line Arabic legend containing the phrase of accession and the pious formula, followed by an arabesque ornament, the mint name Misr (Egypt), and the accession year 1032 AH. The calligraphic inscription is boldly struck in high relief in the characteristic Ottoman hammered style. The beaded border encircles the entire field. The reverse layout follows the standard Ottoman provincial format for Egyptian mint issues of the early seventeenth century. |
