| Obverse description | Multi-line Arabic legend in the field reading 'Sultan Suleyman ibn Sultan Selim, struck in Damascus, 926,' arranged in six horizontal lines. The inscription is executed in a cursive Arabic script typical of early Ottoman hammered coinage, set within an irregularly shaped flan characteristic of provincial copper issues. The legend records both the sultan's name and lineage as well as the mint city and accession year, serving as the primary identifying element of the obverse. |
