| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a stylized foliate or vegetal ornamental motif, rendered in low relief in the hammered tradition. The design depicts a broad palm-like or fan-shaped spray of leaves or branches radiating diagonally across the flan, with multiple parallel ridges suggesting individual fronds. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no legible inscription or border visible. The surface exhibits a dark olive-brown patina consistent with aged copper, with traces of green cuprite corrosion. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a bold, stylized ornamental device of uncertain form, possibly a highly abstracted tughra element or geometric floral motif, divided into quadrants by two intersecting lines in a cross-like arrangement. The upper register contains a rounded arch or crescent-like projection, while the lower register displays two rounded lobes flanking a central point, suggesting a highly schematic vegetal or heraldic design. A rudimentary inner border of short radial lines or hatching encircles the central device. No legible inscription is discernible; the flan is irregular and the surface shows dark brown patination with areas of green oxidation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anonymous Ottoman copper pieces of this type circulated in the lower registers of daily commerce, where silver was too valuable to subdivide further. Their attribution remains genuinely contested — the absence of a ruler's name or mint has led numismatists to debate whether these were officially sanctioned municipal issues or tolerated unofficial strikes filling a fractional gap the central treasury had no interest in addressing.
