| Reverse description | Central field filled with a multi-line Arabic inscription in Ottoman thuluth calligraphic style, bearing the name and titles of Sultan Murad III, Khan of the Ottoman Empire, arranged in several registers across the flan. The legend references the sultan's sovereignty and invokes divine favor, following standard Ottoman sultani epigraphic conventions. The entire inscription is enclosed within a beaded border following the irregular outline of the hammered flan. A small piercing hole is noted near the right edge, indicating probable secondary use as a pendant or decorative element. |
