| Obverse lettering | ضرب في بغداد ١٢٢٣ (Translation: Struck in Baghdad 1223) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic honorific inscription arranged horizontally across the field, reading 'Sultan of the Two Lands and Khagan of the Two Seas / The Sultan son of the Sultan,' accompanied by the regnal year numeral '1' denoting the first year of Mahmud II's reign. The calligraphic text fills the central field in three registers, bordered by a beaded circle at the periphery. The hammered surfaces show typical uneven strike pressure consistent with provincial Ottoman minting practice. |
