| Obverse description | The obverse displays a bilingual inscription filling the central field, combining Arabic script and a Latin legend. The outer legend reads SULTAN AWADH BIN OMAR AL-QUA'ITI in Latin characters around the upper periphery, while the Arabic equivalent السلطان عوض بن عمر القعيطي occupies the central area in large, bold characters. The lower periphery carries the word BAHADOOR in Latin script. The coin is struck without a portrait, relying entirely on the calligraphic text as the primary design element, framed by a simple border. |
