| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate calligraphic tughra of Sultan Mahmud I, rendered in the traditional Ottoman style with characteristic upward-sweeping shafts (tuğ) rising from the body of the monogram. A small star device appears to the right of the tughra within the field. The coin border is defined by a ring of small beads or dots forming a decorative inner circle, visible around the coin's circumference. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Ottoman script arranged across the central field, reading the mint formula and regnal year. The legend records the place and date of striking. A fine dotted or beaded border encircles the reverse field, consistent with the hammered coinage of the Kostantiniyye mint under Mahmud I. |
