| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate toughra of Sultan Abdülaziz, flanked on either side by laurel branches forming an open wreath at the base. A row of eight-pointed stars arcs across the upper field above the toughra. The regnal year and denomination value appear in Arabic numerals within the lower portion of the wreath, with the entire design executed in high relief on a smooth field. |

| Reverse description | Multiple lines of Arabic legend stacked concentrically within the field, enclosed by a laurel wreath tied at the base. The inscriptions include the accession year 1277 AH, the mint name Constantinople, and the invocatory phrase. A single star appears at the apex above the legend. The wreath is rendered in fine detail with individually articulated leaves, consistent with the high-quality milled production of the Constantinople mint. |
