| Obverse description | The elaborate tughra of Sultan Abdulhamid I occupies the central field, rendered in the intricate calligraphic style characteristic of late 18th-century Ottoman coinage. Below the tughra, the mint name Tripoli West (Tarabulus Gharb) and the AH date 1187 are inscribed in Arabic script. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The gold flan exhibits the slightly irregular shape typical of hammered Ottoman provincial coinage of this period. |
