The obverse presents an entirely epigraphic design composed of four horizontal lines of bold Arabic calligraphy filling the central field, framed by a raised inner circle. The inscription invokes the Ottoman Sultan Abd al-Hamid I with his full titulature. The outer border features a continuous frieze of alternating leaf-shaped and elongated pellet ornaments, characteristic of Tunisian hammered coinage of the late eighteenth century. The field exhibits the broad, slightly irregular flan typical of hand-struck issues. No figurative elements are present, in conformity with Islamic numismatic convention. |

The reverse displays a concise epigraphic legend in large, flowing Arabic naskh script arranged across two principal lines within a raised inner circle, reading the mint name 'Tunis' and the regnal year in Hijri numerals. A small floral or foliate ornament appears above the uppermost line of text, serving as a decorative divider. The Hijri date, here shown as 1199, is struck prominently in the lower portion of the field. The border replicates the obverse's ornamental frieze of leaf-shaped devices, lending the coin a consistent and harmonious aesthetic. The hammered flan shows characteristic surface irregularities consistent with hand manufacture. |

Abdülhamid I came to the throne in 1774 following the death of Mustafa III, inheriting an empire already reeling from the disastrous Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca signed that same year — a settlement that stripped the Ottomans of Crimea and marked the first cession of Muslim-majority territory to a Christian power. Tunisian coinage of this reign reflects the regency's complex position: nominally Ottoman, practically autonomous under the Husainid beys, and running a mint that answered more to Tunis than to Constantinople.
KM#65 spans the full fourteen years of his reign, making precise dating within the type difficult without reference to the regnal year struck on individual pieces.
