| Beschrijving voorzijde | Arabic inscription within a roughly square, irregularly struck field. The legend reads 'Sultan Mahmud' in two lines of Arabic script, executed in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of Tunisian provincial coinage of the early 19th century. The characters fill the central field, with the coin's irregular edges reflecting its hand-struck manufacture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The qafsi denominations of early 19th-century Tunisia were struck at Tunis under Ottoman suzerainty, during a period when the Husainid beys operated with considerable practical autonomy while still acknowledging the sultan's nominal authority — hence Mahmud II's name on the coinage despite Tunis managing its own monetary affairs. These small copper pieces circulated primarily in local markets and were notoriously prone to irregular striking, with planchet quality varying considerably across the production run. KM#85 survivors in collectible condition are scarcer than the type's obscurity might suggest.
