| Reverse description | Three lines of Arabic calligraphic inscription occupy the central field, reading the mint name and Hijri regnal year. The upper portion bears the word 'ضرب' (struck/minted), the central line 'مصر' (Misr/Egypt), and the lower field displays the Hijri date '١٢٥٥' (1255 AH). A regnal year numeral appears above the main legend, indicating the year of Abdulmecid I's reign. The reverse is plain and undecorated beyond the inscriptions, with no border ornamentation. |
