| Obverse description | Central field bears the Arabic tughra-style inscription of the Ottoman Sultan's title and name arranged in multiple lines within a decorative wreath border. The legend reads 'Sultan al-Ghazi Abdulmecid Khan' in stylized Arabic script. The wreath frames the inscription and serves as the principal decorative element of the obverse. The overall design is characteristic of Ottoman-Tunisian coinage of the mid-nineteenth century, combining calligraphic artistry with minimal decorative embellishment. |
