| Obverse description | Central field bears the tughra of Sultan Murad II, rendered in stylized Arabic calligraphy. The inscription reads 'Murad son of Mehmed' in two lines, executed in the angular script typical of early Ottoman hammered copper coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of hand-struck mangır issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field contains a two-line Arabic inscription divided by a horizontal line, reading 'May God perpetuate his reign / Struck at Edirne', identifying both the pious invocation and the mint of issue. The lettering is bold and angular, consistent with Ottoman chancery script of the first half of the fifteenth century. The irregular flan shows typical die-shift and weak strike areas at the margins, common to hammered Ottoman copper issues. |
