| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing a two-line Arabic inscription naming the sultan's lineage. The legends are struck in the bold, unrefined hammered style consistent with the obverse, with the text filling the available flan. A horizontal bar divides the inscription registers, and the slightly worn, patinated silver surface reflects the coin's age and circulation history. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The larin — a wire coinage bent into a fishhook shape — was the dominant trade currency across the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean littoral for roughly two centuries. The Maldives adopted the form from Persian Gulf merchants, and local production continued long after the type had died out elsewhere. Mohamed bin Hajj Ali Thukkala's reign fell within the turbulent late seventeenth century, a period when the Sultanate was repeatedly destabilized by internal succession disputes and pressure from competing Indian Ocean powers.
KM#9 is among the scarcer sultanate larins. The hand-made nature of larin production means no two examples are identical in shape.
