Reverse description Irregular hammered flan with an Arabic inscription in two or three lines filling the entire reverse field, giving the AH date 1188 in Eastern Arabic numerals. The deeply struck legend is characteristic of Maldivian hammered coinage, with bold, cursive strokes and no surrounding border or decorative devices. Patches of original copper surface are visible alongside areas of green patination. The overall execution reflects the hand-struck, artisanal nature of Maldivian larin coinage of the 18th century.
