| Obverse description | Hammered billon coin of irregular round flan bearing a central Arabic tughra-style inscription within a beaded inner circle. The field displays the mint name and regnal year in bold Arabic script arranged in multiple horizontal registers. The legend reads 'Mahmud, struck in Tripoli West, 1223', referencing Sultan Mahmud II and the Hijri date of issue. The inscription is executed in a dense, overlapping calligraphic style characteristic of early 19th-century Ottoman provincial coinage. A beaded border encircles the entire composition. |
