| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate tughra (imperial monogram) of Sultan Mahmud II, rendered in the traditional calligraphic style with its characteristic looped and hatched staves rising above a horizontal baseline. Below the tughra, the Hijri accession year ١٢٢٣ (1223 AH) is inscribed in Arabic numerals. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, with a reeded border visible at the periphery. |
