Beschrijving voorzijde The obverse field is entirely occupied by a bold, calligraphic Ottoman Turkish inscription in multiple horizontal lines, rendered in a fluid thuluth script. The upper portion bears the royal epithet and the sultan's name, while the lower register carries the mint name 'Kostantiniyye' (Constantinople) separated by a horizontal line, with the Hijri regnal year 1187 inscribed beneath in Arabic numerals. Decorative foliate and rosette ornaments are interspersed between the lines of text, enhancing the formal palatial character of the design. The whole is enclosed within a finely executed reeded border of uniform beading.

Aanvullende informatie

The zolota was minted specifically to facilitate trade with European merchants, its name borrowed directly from the Polish złoty — a deliberate acknowledgment that Ottoman silver coinage needed a recognizable denomination for foreign commerce. Abdülhamid I's reign coincided with the aftermath of the disastrous 1768–1774 Russo-Turkish War, which ended with the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca and left the empire financially strained. Debasement was the predictable response.

The .465 fineness reflects that fiscal pressure honestly — a significant step down from earlier Ottoman silver standards.
