| Obverse description | Irregular hammered square flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, naming the Ottoman sultan Selim bin Suleiman Khan. The legend is arranged in three or four lines of angular Naskh script, occupying the full face of the coin. The flan edges are characteristically uneven, typical of hand-struck Ottoman provincial coinage of the sixteenth century. No figurative imagery is present, the inscription itself serving as the sole decorative and identifying element. |
