| Reverse description | The reverse displays four lines of Arabic script within the central field, naming the issuing territory Muscat and Oman, the denomination Rub Anna (quarter anna), and the Hijri date 1312. The inscriptions are contained within a central circle formed by a beaded border, which is itself surrounded by a plain outer field and a raised rim. The legends are boldly struck in relief against a flat field, in a plain epigraphic style characteristic of Gulf coinage of the period. |
