| Obverse description | The obverse displays multiple horizontal registers of bold Arabic calligraphic script in the thuluth style, filling the entire field. The central legend proclaims the sultan's titulature, identifying Selim II as Sultan. The inscription is densely rendered with interlocking letterforms characteristic of Ottoman hammered gold coinage, with no border or decorative ornament framing the legends. |
