| Reverse description | The reverse displays a concise Arabic inscription in bold Naskh script arranged in three horizontal registers across the central field. The upper register bears the denomination legend 'Rub' Qirsh' (Quarter Qirsh), while the middle register shows the fractional numeral '1/4' in Eastern Arabic numerals separated by a horizontal bar. The lower register prominently displays the Hijri date '١٣٥٦' (AH 1356) in large, clearly struck Eastern Arabic numerals. The flat field surrounding the legends is unadorned, and the design is enclosed by a plain raised rim. The overall composition is spare and legible, consistent with the utilitarian character of early Saudi subsidiary coinage. |
