| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a three-line Arabic legend naming the Ottoman Sultan, reading 'Al-Sultan Al-Ghazi Abdulmecid Khan', rendered in bold calligraphic script. The inscription is contained within the coin's borders without a formal wreath frame, with the beaded inner border of the coin's rim encircling the legend. The lettering fills the flan in a stacked arrangement characteristic of Ottoman-era Tunisian gold coinage. |
