| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the elaborate imperial tughra of Sultan Mahmud II, rendered in flowing calligraphic relief with characteristic serifs and looping strokes. The tughra occupies the majority of the flan and is set within a plain inner border. Below the tughra, the regnal year appears in Arabic numerals. The entire design is enclosed by a beaded or dotted outer border running along the coin's periphery. The coin exhibits a heavily worn and pitted billon surface consistent with active circulation. |

| 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.
