| Obverse description | Host coin is an Ottoman copper piece (Turkey KM-666.3, AH1255), bearing a Greek countermark consisting of the conjoined letters 'A' and 'T' punched into the field. The countermark is applied to the obverse of the host coin, partially obscuring the underlying design and regnal year. The host coin's original toughra or calligraphic device remains partially visible beneath and around the countermark. The coin displays typical wear and surface patination consistent with circulation use, with the countermark showing clear, deliberate application. |

| Reverse description | Reverse displays the original Ottoman design of the host coin (Turkey KM-666.3, AH1255), featuring Arabic calligraphic inscriptions typical of the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid I. The tughra and associated legends are partially legible in the field, surrounded by decorative calligraphic elements. The regnal year notation is present but partially obscured due to wear and the effects of the countermarking process on the obverse. The overall surface exhibits a dark copper patination with areas of green oxidation consistent with long-term circulation. |
