| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic epigraphic legend arranged in horizontal registers within a decorative cartouche or frame. The inscription proclaims the sultan's titles in Ottoman Turkish rendered in Arabic script, identifying him as sovereign of the two lands and two seas, son of the sultan. A dotted or beaded border frames the entire composition along the rim. The relief is low and the legends are partially worn, consistent with the coin's circulated billon composition. The overall layout follows the standard typology of early nineteenth-century Ottoman Egyptian provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mahmud II came to the throne in 1808 following the deposition and strangulation of his brother Mustafa IV — the last sultan to order a rival's execution before being deposed himself. The Cairo mint had been operating under French occupation as recently as 1801, and its return to Ottoman control brought renewed but unstable coin production. Egyptian billon issues of this period are notoriously inconsistent in alloy quality, reflecting both the mint's disrupted history and chronic shortages of silver reaching the province.
