Obverse description Central field bears the four-line Arabic legend naming the Ottoman Sultan Al-Ghazi Abdulmecid Khan, rendered in bold calligraphic script. The inscription is enclosed within a large open wreath of feathery palm fronds, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The coin's milled edge forms a fine beaded border around the entire design. The composition is purely epigraphic, with no figurative elements, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition.
