| Reverse description | The reverse features a central circular cartouche enclosing the Shahada in bold Arabic calligraphy: the declaration that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger. Surrounding the central cartouche is a secondary legend naming the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen and the mint city of Sana'a, separated by five-pointed stars. The denomination, Quarter Ahmadi, is inscribed in the outer legend along with the regnal year 77/5. The design is entirely epigraphic, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition, with the Arabic script rendered in a confident, flowing hand. |
