| Reverse description | The reverse field is occupied entirely by a multi-line Jawi Arabic inscription arranged in three registers within a beaded border, reading 'Inilah Titah Pitis Belanja Negeri Brunei' (This is the Pitis Currency of the State of Brunei), with the Hijri date 1285 appearing in Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals in the lower register. The legend is cast in relief against a flat field, the script flowing in the cursive Jawi tradition characteristic of nineteenth-century Bruneian official documents and coinage. The beaded border encircles the entire inscription, and the coin's surface shows the characteristic oxidized patina of aged tin. This reverse legend formula follows the standard proclamatory style used on Brunei pitis coinage of the Abdul Momin reign. |
