| Obverse description | Central field bears a three-line Arabic calligraphic legend reading the name and title of Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecid Khan, rendered in flowing cursive script. The inscription is enclosed within an open wreath of two symmetrically arranged palm branches, their fronds sweeping outward from a floral tie at the base. A small numeral or device appears at the very bottom of the wreath, below the tie. The overall design is spare and heraldic, with no rim legend, the wreath and calligraphy filling the full coin field. |
