| Reverse description | The reverse features the Jawi script inscription reading 'Pulau Pinang' (Penang Island) in two large Arabic-script characters occupying the central field, rendered in a bold, calligraphic style. The inscription is enclosed within a broad, continuous wreath of rice or palm fronds, tied at the base, which frames the field and lends an agricultural or tropical character appropriate to the Straits Settlements issue. A beaded border runs along the outer rim. The overall design is simple and uncluttered, allowing the Jawi legend to dominate the composition. |
