| Obverse description | Central field bearing the tughra (imperial cipher) of Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecid I, rendered in stylized Arabic calligraphy. The monogram is framed by sweeping foliate and floral arabesques extending across the field, executed in the Ottoman decorative tradition. The overall composition is densely ornamental, with the tughra serving as the focal device. No peripheral legend is present; the design relies entirely on the calligraphic and decorative elements for its visual impact. |
