1 Sultani - Mahmud II

Obverse description	The obverse features the elaborate tughra of Sultan Mahmud II rendered in flowing calligraphic style, occupying the upper portion of the field. Below the tughra, Arabic inscriptions in thuluth script record the mint name and the Hijri date 1236. A floral ornament appears in the upper right field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, characteristic of Ottoman-era Tunisian gold coinage. The composition is entirely epigraphic, with no figurative elements, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition.

Reverse description	The reverse is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold thuluth script, arranged in horizontal registers across the field. The inscription proclaims the imperial titles of Mahmud II, identifying him as Sultan of the two lands and Khagan of the two seas, the Sultan son of the Sultan. The text is densely laid out, filling the flan to the beaded border that frames the entire design. The calligraphy is deeply struck and characteristic of the Ottoman epigraphic style employed at the Tunis Mint during the early nineteenth century. No figurative devices or mint marks appear on this face.
