| Obverse description | Hammered gold flan of irregular roundness, bearing a four-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers across the field, framed by a toothed or rope-pattern border. The legend proclaims the Ottoman royal titulature of Sultan Mahmud II, reading 'Sultan of the Two Lands and Khagan of the Two Seas, the Sultan, son of the Sultan.' The script is executed in a bold, angular North African style characteristic of Algerian mint production. Two suspension holes are visible, indicating the coin was later adapted for use as personal adornment. No figurative devices appear; the design is purely epigraphic in the Ottoman-Maghrebi tradition. |
