The upper legend reads the regnal year indicator and the word 'ضرب' (struck), while the lower line reads 'مصر' (Misr/Egypt), indicating the Cairo Mint. Below these legends, the Hijri date '١٢٥٥' (1255 AH) is inscribed in Eastern Arabic numerals. The border is defined by a continuous beaded rim consistent with the obverse. |
