| Obverse description | Hammered gold flan with multi-line Arabic legend filling the field in bold naskh script, arranged in four horizontal registers and divided by a central horizontal line. The inscription names the sultan and his lineage, with the mint name Misr (Egypt) and the AH regnal year 982 appearing in the lower register. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border running along the coin's periphery. The irregular flan displays characteristic hammer-struck relief with naturally undulating surfaces typical of Ottoman gold coinage of the period. |
