| Obverse description | Central field features a circular cartouche enclosing the Arabic tughra or calligraphic inscription of Husayn ibn Ali, Sheriff and King of Hejaz, rendered in ornate Arabic script. Surrounding the central cartouche, additional Arabic legends fill the four quadrants of the field in flowing calligraphic style. The design is entirely typographic, with no figural elements, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. A plain inner border frames the central device, while the outer rim retains the coin's edge detail. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a circular cartouche containing the denomination inscription in Arabic script, indicating the fractional value of one-eighth qirsh. The surrounding field is filled with multi-line Arabic legends arranged in the four quadrants, including the mint name and the Hijri date 1334, all executed in the same dense calligraphic style as the obverse. No figural or ornamental devices appear; the design relies entirely on the elegance of the Arabic script. The legends are raised in relief against a flat field, with a beaded or plain inner border enclosing the central cartouche. |
