| Obverse description | Central rectangular cartouche with rounded corners containing the Arabic legend in multiple lines, giving the name and title of Ahmad II Bey and the denomination and Hijri date. Two stylized wheat or palm fronds flank the cartouche symmetrically on either side. The entire design is framed by a decorative beaded border following the coin's scalloped outer edge. The composition is formal and heraldic in character, consistent with the engraving style of the Monnaie de Paris under Bazor. |
