| Reverse description | Central field bearing a large, boldly rendered Ottoman tughra-style Arabic calligraphic device, with flowing interlaced strokes characteristic of Ottoman imperial monogram design. The central calligraphic motif is framed by ornate intertwining floral branches with stylized blossoms and berries extending to the margins. The composition is enclosed within a beaded outer border, with additional Arabic script elements visible in the surrounding field between the foliate sprays. |

| Additional information |
Without confirmed issuing authority, date range, or documented purpose, there is little verifiable to add here. Brass tokens of this general profile circulated widely across Turkey and the former Ottoman periphery for municipal transit, utility metering, and gaming use throughout the twentieth century — attribution without additional die or provenance data remains speculative.
