| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the entire field, recording the full honorific titles and genealogy of the ruler Faisal bin Turki. The text, arranged in flowing naskh script across several lines, identifies the Imam by his lineage and titles. The field is plain without an inner border, and the coin edge features a continuous milled pattern providing a decorative and functional border to the reverse design. |
