| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate calligraphic tughra of Sultan Mahmud II, rendered in the traditional Ottoman imperial monogram style with sweeping upward strokes (tuğ) rising from an oval loop (beyze) and interlaced horizontal arms (zülfe). The tughra occupies the majority of the flan and serves as the primary design element, executed in raised relief against a plain field. The surrounding legend, in Arabic script, reads the sultan's epithets and titles encircling the device. The overall composition is characteristic of early nineteenth-century Ottoman provincial coinage, with the tughra slightly smaller in the KM#168.1 variety. |
