1/2 Riyal - Barghash

Beschrijving voorzijde	The entire field is occupied by a five-line Arabic inscription in bold, flowing Naskh script, reading the name and titles of Sultan Barghash bin Said of Zanzibar, with the word 'Allah' prominently at the top centre. The legend translates as 'God / Sultan Said / bin Barghash bin / Sultan / may He preserve him', invoking divine protection for the ruler. Small decorative foliate ornaments flank the lower lines of text, lending a formal, calligraphic character to the design. The field is otherwise plain, with no portrait or pictorial device. The coin is bounded by a continuous inner border of raised beads following the coin's circumference.
