| Obverse description | Crudely hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in thuluth script occupying the entire field. The inscription reads 'Sultan Ahmed Khan, son of Mehmed', disposed across three lines within a plain border. The strike is typical of late Ottoman hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges and uneven relief. The coin as illustrated bears two post-mint piercings, indicating later secondary use as an ornament or pendant. |
