| Reverse description | Circular flan bearing a multi-line Arabic honorific inscription arranged in the field in a style consistent with Maldivian hammered silver coinage of the seventeenth century. The legend acclaims the ruler with the title Sultan of the Land and the Sea, a formula commonly employed on the coinage of the Maldivian sultanate. The script is boldly engraved in a cursive hand, filling the available field with flowing calligraphic strokes. The overall layout and style closely parallel the obverse, giving the coin a symmetrical, inscription-only appearance on both faces. |
