| Reverse description | Hammered field displaying a two-line Arabic legend. The upper register reads 'Al-Sultan' (السلطان) and the lower register reads 'Iskandar' (اسكندر), together forming the royal name and title of the reigning sultan. The inscription is struck in the same rough, informal Arabic script typical of Maldivian hammered billon issues, with some letter forms compressed to fit the compact flan. The overall style is consistent with the primitive engraving conventions of the Maldivian sultanate coinage. |
