| Obverse description | The elaborate tughra of Sultan Mehmed V (Reshad) occupies the central field, flanked to the right by the word 'Reshat' in Arabic script. Seven five-pointed stars are arranged in a semicircle along the upper collar. In the lower exergue, two crossed torches with intertwined laurel branches are depicted, above which appears the regnal year numeral in Eastern Arabic script. The composition is characteristic of late Ottoman coinage, combining the imperial cipher with decorative foliate elements. |
