| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold naskh script, presenting the Sultan's tughra-style titulature across several horizontal registers. The inscription is enclosed within a plain linear inner border, itself surrounded by a rope or beaded outer border following the irregular flan edge. Decorative dot ornaments punctuate the registers. The overall composition is characteristic of Ottoman hammered gold coinage of the late sixteenth century, with deeply impressed raised lettering filling the entire field. |
