| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the field, struck in the characteristic crude hammered style typical of provincial Ottoman coinage. The legend reads 'Struck in Tripoli West 1223' (AH), denoting the mint location and the Hijri regnal year of Sultan Mahmud II. The script is rendered in relief against a rough, uneven flan, with no border or decorative frame. The lettering is bold but somewhat irregular due to the hand-struck technique. |
