| Reverse description | The reverse bears a rectangular cartouche-style inscription in Arabic script arranged in three lines across the central field, reading 'Struck in Egypt' (ضرب في مصر) above the AH regnal year 1223. The regnal year suffix, indicating the specific year of Sultan Mahmud II's reign (ranging from 29 to 32 depending on the year of issue), appears above the Hijri date 1223 at the base. The bold, blocky calligraphic lettering is characteristic of Ottoman provincial mint production in Egypt, enclosed within a plain raised rim. |
