Para - Ahmed III

Obverse description	Central field dominated by the elaborate tughra of Sultan Ahmed III, rendered in the characteristic Ottoman calligraphic style with sweeping loops and vertical strokes rising above a horizontal baseline. The tughra is surrounded by a plain inner border, with the overall design occupying most of the flan. The hammered fabric produces a slightly irregular, concave surface typical of early eighteenth-century Ottoman minor coinage. No additional legends or decorative devices are present outside the tughra composition.

Reverse description	Three lines of bold Arabic calligraphic inscription filling the central field, stating the mint and regnal year. The text is arranged horizontally across the flan in a clear, if somewhat roughly struck, naskh-influenced hand. A numerical date appears in the lower portion of the field. The plain border frames the inscription without additional ornament, consistent with the austere style of hammered Ottoman para coinage of this period.
