| Obverse description | Arabic legend in two or three lines across the field, giving the sultan's name and titles in the tughra tradition. The inscription is struck in relief on a plain, undecorated field typical of Ottoman hammered silver coinage. The flan is irregular in shape with slightly ragged edges characteristic of hand-cut planchets. A small hole is visible at the lower-left rim, likely pierced for use as a pendant in a later period. |

| Reverse description | Arabic multi-line legend occupying the central field, recording the mint name Misr (Egypt) and the regnal year or accession date of Sultan Mehmed III. The inscription is crisply struck in raised relief against a plain, unadorned field consistent with provincial Ottoman hammered akçe production. The flan is irregular with uneven margins, and a small circular hole is pierced at the lower-right rim, mirroring the obverse perforation. |
