| Obverse description | Central field bears the Arabic legend 'Sultan Mahmud' inscribed in two lines in a bold, somewhat crude calligraphic style characteristic of Tunisian hammered billon coinage of the mid-18th century. The inscription is contained within a simple circular border, with no additional devices or ornamental elements. The lettering fills the coin's face, typical of Ottoman provincial issues of this period. |

The bold, hand-engraved calligraphy is characteristic of Ottoman-era Tunisian hammered coinage, filling the entire field within a plain circular border. The inscription style reflects the provincial workshop production of the Tunis mint during the mid-18th century. |
