| 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. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a two-line Arabic inscription arranged horizontally across the field, separated by a plain horizontal line divider, with floral or foliate ornamental devices flanking the text on both sides. The lower line bears the AH mint date numerals, reading 1223, corresponding to 1808 CE. A beaded border and a decorative foliate wreath surround the entire design, consistent with the hammered coinage style of the Algerian Regency mint. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of the hand-struck silver fractional coinage of this period. |
