Reverse description The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the field, identifying the ruler Sultan Faisal bin Turki and his titles. The text is arranged in several horizontal registers occupying the full coin face, rendered in an angular Arabic script style characteristic of Omani coinage of the late nineteenth century. The AH date 1314 appears within the inscription. No wreath or ornamental border frames the legend, distinguishing this variety from related issues.
