| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Arabic inscription 'Gharb' (غرب, meaning 'West'), denoting the Tripoli mint, accompanied by a decorative floral or foliate ornament below. The design is rendered in a loose, informal hand-struck style typical of hammered provincial Ottoman coinage. Small lozenge-shaped pellets flank the central motif in the field. The entire design is enclosed within a roughly circular border of fine beading. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, with the regnal year inscribed in Arabic numerals within the central hexagonal space. The year appears as part of the Ottoman AH dating system, referencing the accession year 1223 with the regnal year indicated alongside. The hammered strike produces an irregular outline, consistent with provincial Ottoman mint practice. A beaded border surrounds the design. |
