| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner border, citing the mint name Misr (Egypt) prominently in the lower register. The inscription is struck in bold relief characteristic of Ottoman hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges. A dotted border encircles the entire design, framing the calligraphic field. |

| Reverse description | Central field filled with a multi-line Arabic tughra-style inscription in bold relief, recording the name and titles of Sultan Mehmed III, arranged in horizontal registers. The legend reads the royal epithet and regnal formulae typical of Ottoman sultanic coinage of this period. A dotted border encircles the design, consistent with the hammered gold coinage struck at the Egypt mint under Ottoman authority. |
