| Obverse description | Central field bears the three-line Arabic inscription naming Sultan Abdulaziz Khan, enclosed within a finely detailed olive wreath tied at the base with a decorative bow. The wreath branches radiate symmetrically outward, framing the legend on all sides. The coin's flat field and crisp relief lettering are characteristic of mid-19th century Tunisian milled coinage. A toothed border runs along the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic inscription referencing Muhammad Al-Sadiq, Bey of Tunis, the mint city of Tunis, the denomination of 1 Rial, and the AH date, all enclosed within a symmetrical olive wreath tied at the base with a decorative bow. The Islamic date appears prominently in the lower portion of the inscription. The overall design mirrors the obverse in its wreath style and toothed rim border, consistent with the standard Tunisian rial coinage of the Husainid period. |
