Reverse description The reverse is entirely occupied by a multi-line inscription in flowing Naskh-style Arabic calligraphy reading 'Jazira Prins Abuwilis' (Island of Prince of Wales), filling the field across three lines without a border legend. The script is boldly struck and occupies nearly the full flan, characteristic of Presidency coinage intended for circulation in the Malay Peninsula.
