| Reverse description | Hammered reverse bearing a two-line Arabic inscription across the field, proclaiming the ruler's sovereign title. The legend is struck in the characteristic crude style of Maldivian hammered billon issues, with letters distributed across the flan without an encircling border. The inscription affirms the Sultan's dominion over both land and sea, a standard honorific formula employed on Maldivian coinage of the period. |
