| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic tughra legend within a dotted inner border, surrounded by an ornate wreath or foliate border with a beaded outer rim. The inscription names Sultan Mahmud II with his titles in flowing Ottoman script, and the accession year 1223 AH appears in the lower portion of the central field. The overall design is characteristic of early 19th-century Ottoman milled coinage, with the text arranged in stacked horizontal registers. |
