Central field contains a multi-line Arabic inscription giving the mint name and regnal year, enclosed within a matching elliptical ornamental cartouche consistent in style with the obverse. The enclosing frame is composed of interlaced foliate scrollwork with rosette or pellet ornaments at the cardinal intersections, framing the legend in a characteristic Ottoman provincial coinage format. The overall design reflects standard Ottoman administrative coinage conventions for Egyptian provincial issues. |

Mahmud II came to the Ottoman throne in 1808 following one of the bloodiest succession crises in the empire's history — Mustafa IV had his predecessor Selim III murdered to prevent restoration, before being deposed himself within days. Egyptian coinage of this reign reflects a province already drifting toward autonomy under Muhammad Ali, who had consolidated his grip on Cairo by that same year. The billon standard here signals chronic silver shortages that plagued Ottoman provincial mints throughout this period.
