| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in four horizontal registers, divided by ruled lines and flanked by stylised floral branch ornaments. The legend reads 'Sultan al-Barrayn wa Khaqan al-Bahrayn / al-Sultan Mahmud Khan / azzahu nasruh', proclaiming the titles and name of Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II (AH 1223–1252 / 1808–1839). The whole design is enclosed within a plain inner circle and a broad outer border of raised pellets. |
