| Obverse description | Central field bears the two-line Arabic inscription naming Sultan Mahmud II, executed in a bold, informal Maghrebi script characteristic of hammered Ottoman provincial coinage. The legend is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by an outer border of raised beads or granules forming a scalloped decorative ring around the coin's periphery. The overall design is purely epigraphic, with no figural elements or additional ornamental devices in the field. |
