| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field is dominated by the elaborately rendered tughra of Sultan Abdülmecid I, executed in fine calligraphic naskh style with characteristic interlaced loops, sweeping horizontal arms, and floral finials at the summits. The device is contained within a scalloped inner border punctuated at intervals by small five-pointed stars and crescent moons. An outer beaded border follows the coin's periphery, completing the decorative frame. The composition adheres to the standardised Ottoman tughra format introduced with the Tanzimat monetary reform of 1255 AH (1844). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1844 monetary reform — the Tanzimat's fiscal counterpart — abolished the debased kuruş system that had plagued Ottoman finances for decades and introduced the new kurus on a rationalized bimetallic standard. This coin is a direct product of that reorganization, struck under the authority of the newly established Imperial Mint at Constantinople following the Usul-i Cedid coinage reforms.
Abdülmecid's reign saw persistent pressure from European creditors, and maintaining credible silver coinage was partly a diplomatic act. The .830 fineness represented a deliberate compromise between fiscal reality and the appearance of monetary respectability.
