| Reverse description | The central field features the large numeral '1' in bold relief, surmounted by the Arabic word 'فرنك' (Franc) and flanked by the dual-calendar dating: 'An 1945' to the lower left in Latin script and 'سنة ١٣٦٤' (year 1364 of the Hijri calendar) to the lower right in Arabic. The denomination 'FRANC' is inscribed in large Latin capitals below the numeral, with 'ESSAI' (trial/pattern) appearing beneath it in smaller letters, confirming the piedfort essai status. The Arabic legend 'السكة المحمدية الشريفة' (The Muhammadan Cherifian Coinage) curves along the upper periphery, while 'جزئي' appears within the arc. The engraver's signature 'J. HAINAUT' is incised in small letters at the lower left of the field, with decorative ornaments flanking the base. |
