| Obverse description | Tughra of Sultan Murad IV rendered in bold calligraphic strokes, occupying the central field of the flan. The imperial monogram, characteristic of Ottoman coinage, is executed in Arabic script with the interlocking loops and vertical strokes typical of the period. The strike is irregular, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the Baghdad Eyalet. |

| Reverse description | Five-line Arabic inscription filling the entire reverse field, containing the sultan's titles and the mint and regnal year formula. The text is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, typical of Ottoman provincial silver coinage of the early seventeenth century. The strike is uneven with some weakness at the edges, consistent with the irregular flan shape of hammered issues. |
