Obverse description	Within a beaded inner circle, the elaborate tughra of Sultan Mahmud II occupies the central field, rendered in the distinctive Ottoman calligraphic style with interlaced loops and ascending vertical strokes. An Arabic legend surrounds the tughra within the beaded border, reading the Sultan's titles and epithets. The outer rim displays a toothed or serrated border characteristic of this hammered billon issue. The overall design reflects the standard Ottoman imperial coinage formula adapted for Egyptian mint production.

Reverse description	The central field within a beaded inner circle bears the mint name and dual dating in Arabic naskh script, indicating both the regnal year (year 18) and the Hijri accession year (1223 AH). A circular Arabic legend surrounds the central inscription within the beaded border, with the phrase indicating the place of striking. The outer rim is defined by a toothed serrated border consistent with the hammered technique employed at the Misr (Cairo) mint. The die workmanship is characteristic of early nineteenth-century Egyptian Ottoman coinage.
