| Reverse description | A detailed frontal view of the al-Azhar Mosque occupies the central field, rendered with fine engraving that highlights its characteristic minarets, domes, and ornate façade. The architectural composition faithfully depicts the mosque's historic structure, with its multiple minarets rising prominently against an open field. A Kufic Arabic inscription arcs along the upper border within a beaded inner circle, bearing a Quranic verse. The entire design is enclosed within a decorative beaded border, consistent with the obverse, lending the piece a unified medallic aesthetic. |
