| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the elaborate tughra of Sultan Mahmud II, rendered in intricate Ottoman calligraphic style with characteristic sweeping loops and vertical strokes rising above the main body of the cipher. A small rosette or decorative ornament appears to the right of the tughra within the field. The design is set within a plain round flan with no border inscription. |

| Reverse description | Three lines of Arabic naskh script occupy the central field, reading the mint formula. A horizontal rule divides the upper inscription from the lower regnal year and reign-year notation. The mint name appears in the upper portion, the word 'struck' in the middle register, and the AH date with regnal year below, all contained within a plain circular flan with no border legend. |
