| Obverse description | Within a beaded circle, the two-line titulature of Sultan Bayezid II divided by a horizontal line, reading 'Sultan Bayezid / son of Mehmed Khan' in Arabic script. The layout is typical of early Ottoman akce coinage, with the inscription neatly centered in the field. A continuous beaded border encircles the central device. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded circle, a multi-line Arabic inscription bearing the pious formula 'Azza nasruhu' (May his victory be glorious), followed by the mint name and the accession year of the sultan (886 AH). The mint name, partially legible, appears in the central field. A continuous beaded border frames the entire design, consistent with standard Ottoman hammered silver coinage of the period. |
