| Obverse description | Central field bears a four-line Arabic inscription naming the Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecid Khan, rendered in bold calligraphic script. The legend is enclosed within a wreath of olive or laurel branches, their stems tied at the base with a decorative floral knot. The overall design is aniconic, consistent with Ottoman-era Islamic numismatic convention, with no portrait or figurative imagery. The calligraphic text dominates the flan, and the wreath border provides a clear visual frame. The coin presents a well-struck, bold relief characteristic of Tunisian copper coinage of the mid-nineteenth century. |
