| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription identifying the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, reading 'Sultan Mahmud' with additional honorific titles, rendered in bold, cursive Arabic script. The legend is contained within an irregularly shaped flan characteristic of hammered coinage. A beaded border runs along the lower and lateral periphery of the coin, framing the inscription. The overall style reflects the provincial Ottoman hammered coinage tradition of early 19th-century Algiers. |
