| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription in flowing Naskh calligraphic script, arranged in three horizontal registers across the field. The legend reads 'ضرب في أم القرى ربع قرش', identifying the mint as Umm al-Qura (Mecca), referred to by its honorific title 'Mother of all Villages', and stating the denomination as Quarter Qirsh. The bold raised lettering fills the circular field to the raised rim, with no additional decorative elements. |
