| Obverse description | Epigraphic type with no figurative imagery. The field is divided horizontally by a single ruled line, with the Arabic legend disposed across two registers: the upper register bearing the sultan's name and title, the lower register carrying his patronymic. The inscription reads 'Sultan Suleiman ibn Selim Khan' in bold, angular thuluth-influenced script. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than thick, consistent with hammered Ottoman production, and the legends fill the field to the periphery with no inner border discernible. |
