| Beschrijving voorzijde | The tughra of Sultan Mahmud I occupies the central field in bold calligraphic relief, its characteristic looped and elongated strokes rendered in the Ottoman style. A floral or foliate ornament appears to the right of the tughra, serving as a decorative device typical of Egyptian Ottoman coinage of this period. The design is set within a plain circular border, with the overall composition displaying the irregular flan characteristic of hammered billon issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mahmud I inherited an empire already straining under decentralized authority, and Egypt by the 1730s was effectively governed by competing Mamluk beys who paid only nominal deference to Istanbul. The small billon fractional issues of this period reflect that reality — minted locally under conditions the Sublime Porte could not directly supervise, with silver content that varied considerably from the stated standard.
KM#82.1 distinguishes this from at least one other die variety of the same type, a detail worth noting given how frequently these small-module Ottoman Egyptian pieces are miscatalogued in trade.
