| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cairo's mint had been effectively dormant for years before Abdulmecid I's Tanzimat reforms prompted a renewed effort to standardize coinage across Ottoman territories. The 1844 reorganization that produced this issue was part of the same administrative push that introduced the Kanun-i Esasi framework for provincial governance — the mint at Cairo being brought back into alignment with Istanbul's monetary directives rather than operating on its own Egyptian rhythms.
KM#223 is occasionally found with weak definition on the tougher reverse elements, a known artifact of Cairo's tooling limitations in this period rather than circulation wear.
