| Reverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing a two-line Arabic inscription in the field, reading 'سنه ١٢۴۰' (Year 1240), corresponding to AH 1240 / AD 1825. The script is boldly struck in a naive calligraphic style characteristic of the Sharifate of Mecca's local copper coinage. The flan shows irregular edges, minor surface porosity, and green cuprous patination. No mint mark or additional devices accompany the date legend. |
