| Reverse description | The reverse features a central circular cartouche containing the Shahada inscription and the AH date in Arabic numerals, surrounded by six-pointed star ornaments evenly distributed around the inner circle. The marginal legend, rendered in bold Arabic script, reads around all five sides of the pentagonal flan and records the mint name Sanaa, the denomination (eighth), and the Islamic profession of faith. The overall design is typical of Yemeni Imamate coinage, with a confident, hand-engraved quality to the lettering. |
