| Obverse description | The central field is dominated by the elaborate tughra of Sultan Abdulaziz, rendered in high relief in the classical Ottoman calligraphic tradition. A stylised flowering branch with blossoms and foliage extends to the right of the tughra. The denomination in Arabic numerals and script appears in the lower field beneath the tughra. The design is enclosed by a finely executed beaded rim. |
