| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborately calligraphed tughra of Sultan Abdulmecid I, rendered in the ornate Ottoman style with sweeping vertical strokes (tuğ) rising prominently above the intertwined loops of the monogram. Flanking the tughra are decorative floral and foliate spray ornaments — rose buds and branching stems — positioned at the upper right and lower register, with a small six-petalled rosette in the upper left field. The coin is bordered by a continuous inner ring of fine milled denticles. The overall design is characteristic of mid-19th-century Ottoman copper coinage produced at the Cairo (Misr) mint. |
