| Obverse description | Multiple lines of bold Arabic calligraphic inscription filling the entire field, executed in a characteristic Ottoman hammered style on an irregular flan. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers divided by ruled lines, with the text rendered in a robust, angular hand typical of early Ottoman gold coinage. Decorative pellets or ornamental stops appear between textual elements. The inscription occupies the full face of the coin with no clear border, consistent with Sultani coinage of the early reign of Suleiman I. |
