| Reverse description | Central design features the Arabic numeral and denomination ١ بيزا (1 Besa) within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin denomination 1 BESA and date 1909 inscribed below in the same central zone. The outer legend in Arabic script, بلاد الصومال الايطاليانية, arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while SOMALIA ITALIANA arcs along the lower periphery in Latin script. The overall layout is framed by a toothed border, giving the reverse a clean, bilingual colonial design character. |
