| Obverse description | The elaborate imperial tughra of Sultan Mahmud II occupies the central field, enclosed within a raised circular border. The tughra is rendered in the ornate Ottoman calligraphic tradition, with characteristic upswept vertical strokes (tuğ) rising above interlaced loops and a sweeping horizontal baseline. Surrounding the inner circle, the outer annular field is densely filled with Arabic-script inscriptions in flowing Ottoman calligraphy, likely invoking the sultan's titles and epithets. The coin's edge is reeded, and the overall design reflects the refined aesthetic of early 19th-century Ottoman minting practice. |
