| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan of irregular round form bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Thuluth script filling the central field, reading 'Sultan Abd Al-Hamid Khan, may his victory be glorified.' The inscription is arranged in three horizontal registers separated by ruled lines, with the text occupying virtually the entire interior of the coin. The whole is enclosed within a beaded inner border running close to the irregular periphery of the flan, characteristic of Ottoman provincial hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan of irregular round form with a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Thuluth script arranged in three horizontal registers separated by ruled lines. The uppermost register features a decorative crescent-and-dot ornament crowning the field. The legend reads 'Struck in Algeria' followed by the AH mint year numerals in the lower register. A beaded border encircles the entire design, consistent with Ottoman Algerian provincial hammered coinage of the late 18th century. |
