| Obverse lettering | محمود ضرب في طرابلس غرب ١٢٢٣ (Translation: Mahmud Struck in Tripoli West 1223) |
| Reverse description | Four horizontal lines of bold Arabic calligraphic legend fill the entire field, conferring the full Ottoman royal titulature upon the Sultan. The inscription reads 'Sultan of the Two Lands and Khan of the Two Seas, the Sultan, son of the Sultan,' arranged in four registers separated by plain horizontal lines. The lettering is deeply struck in a robust, slightly crude style consistent with local Tripolitan die-cutting practice. A beaded border encircles the design, and the irregular flan edge reflects the hand-hammered production method. A small hole pierces the upper rim, mirroring the obverse. |
