Beschrijving voorzijde The elaborate calligraphic tughra of Sultan Mahmud II occupies the central field, rendered in finely engraved Arabic script and enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding the tughra, a broad annular band carries the Arabic honorific legend identifying the sultan as sovereign of two lands and two seas, son of a sultan. The entire design is framed by a milled or rope-patterned outer border, consistent with Ottoman gold coinage of the early 19th century. The overall composition reflects the high standard of die engraving employed at the Constantinople mint under Mahmud II.

Aanvullende informatie

Mahmud II came to power in 1808 through one of the more violent successions in Ottoman history — his predecessor Mustafa IV had his brother Selim III strangled to preempt exactly this outcome, only to be deposed himself days later. The coin was struck in the same year Mahmud signed the Deed of Alliance, the Sened-i İttifak, with Anatolian and Rumelian notables — a document sometimes called the Ottoman Magna Carta, though Mahmud spent the rest of his reign systematically dismantling the power it conceded.
