| Obverse description | Irregular hammered flan bearing multiple lines of Arabic script in the field, reading the titles and name of Sultan Mahmud II. The legends are arranged in horizontal registers across the coin face, with the word 'Sultan' prominent in the upper portion. A dotted border runs along the inner edge of the coin, characteristic of Algerian hammered coinage of the Ottoman period. The script is bold and deeply struck, typical of the regency mint style. |
