| Reverse description | Hammered reverse field displaying a three-line Arabic inscription arranged horizontally across the flan. The legend reads 'Sultan of the land and sea,' a regal title characteristic of Maldivian sultanic coinage of this period. The script is executed in a bold, cursive hand consistent with the obverse, with letters showing the informal, hand-engraved quality typical of hammered Maldivian larins. A dotted border surrounds the inscription. The irregular flan edges and die placement reflect standard production methods of the Malé Mint. |
