| Obverse description | Crudely hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in thuluth-influenced script occupying the entire field, reading 'Sultan Ahmed Khan.' The inscription is set within an irregular, somewhat granular border typical of provincial Ottoman copper coinage of the early eighteenth century. The lettering is deeply and boldly struck, though the flan is uneven and the overall impression shows characteristic irregularity of hand-struck mangir coinage. No decorative devices or figurative elements are present, the legend alone serving as the principal design element. |
