| Obverse description | Central field features the Arabic inscription 'Muscat' at top within a beaded inner circle, with the AH date ٣١٤ (1314) below, and the denomination '1/4 ANNA' in two lines at the base. A continuous Latin legend reading 'SAYYID FAISAL BIN TURKI' encircles the central device along the outer border, separated by a small star at top. The overall design is plain and functional, characteristic of late 19th-century colonial-influenced coinage of the Sultanate. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in the central field, reading the full name and titles of the ruler Faisal bin Turki, Sultan of Muscat and Oman, arranged in five lines within an ornate wreath of leafy branches tied at the base. The wreath border is finely detailed with stylized foliage, lending the coin a dignified and ceremonial character consistent with the dynastic coinage of the Al Bu Said sultanate. |
