| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in flowing Thuluth script, arranged in three or four horizontal registers within a plain inner circle. The date appears in the lower register of the inscription. The entire design is enclosed by a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the Ottoman provincial series. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Thuluth script, disposed across several horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, naming the reigning sultan Mehmet III and his titles. The legend fills the field to its margins. The design is framed by a continuous beaded border. The irregular flan and bold, raised lettering are consistent with the hammered technique employed at the Cezayir mint. |
