| Reverse description | The reverse similarly employs the cruciform quadrant design, with two intersecting diagonal lines dividing the field into four sections. A central circular cartouche contains Arabic inscriptions denoting the denomination and regnal information. The surrounding quadrants bear additional Arabic legends proclaiming Husayn's titles as King and Sharif of Mecca. Bold, raised calligraphic script fills the field, consistent with the distinctive hand-struck character of this Hejazi series. |
