5 Rial - Abdulmecid I

Obverse description	Central field occupied by the Ottoman Sultan's name and title in bold Arabic calligraphy, reading 'Sultan Abdulmecid Khan', arranged in three lines within an elaborate radiating palm-frond wreath that fills the entire coin surface. The wreath fronds sweep outward symmetrically from a tied base at the bottom, creating a decorative frame of high relief. A small ornamental device, possibly a crescent or star, appears at the apex of the wreath above the inscription. The milled border of fine reeding encircles the entire design.
