| Obverse description | Arabic inscription in flowing naskh script occupying the central field, rendered in bold raised strokes on a plain copper ground. The legends, referencing the sultan's name and titles, are arranged in two or three lines across the flan, characteristic of Ottoman provincial coinage of the late 17th century. The planchet is notably irregular in outline, typical of hammered copper mangir issues of the Tripoli Regency. The relief is relatively high, with the script showing strong definition despite the crude striking technique. |

| Reverse description | Central device in the field depicting a toughra or stylized floral/vegetal ornament with a crown-like element at the top, rendered in low to medium relief on an irregular copper flan. The design appears as a schematic emblem, possibly a simplified representation of the Ottoman toughra or a decorative mint badge, surrounded by a plain field with no peripheral legend. The striking is characteristic of provincial hammered coinage, with the planchet exhibiting a distinctly uneven, clip-like outline. The overall execution is bold but somewhat crude, consistent with Tripolitan mangir production of the AH 1109 (1697) era. |
