1 Para - Mahmud II

Obverse description	Irregular hammered flan bearing a central tughra-style calligraphic device in Arabic script, rendered in bold relief within a dotted border. The legend reads 'Sultan Mahmud Khan' together with the regnal year 1223 (AH), distributed around and within the field in characteristic Ottoman calligraphic style. The script fills the majority of the coin's surface, with the lettering showing the fluid, intertwined strokes typical of Ottoman hammered coinage of this period. The overall fabric is irregular, consistent with hand-struck production at a provincial Ottoman mint.

The script is arranged in flowing calligraphic lines characteristic of provincial Ottoman hammered issues, with the inscription occupying the full field.
