Aversbeschreibung Central field bears a tughra-style Arabic inscription within a dotted inner circle, reading the titles and name of Husayn ibn Ali, Sharif and King of the Hejaz. Surrounding Arabic legends fill the outer field, proclaiming his sovereignty and religious authority. The date in Eastern Arabic numerals (١٣٣٤) appears in the lower portion of the outer legend. The numeral ٨ (8), denoting the regnal year, is prominently displayed at the base of the coin below the inner dotted border. The overall design follows the Ottoman calligraphic tradition, with densely packed script covering nearly the entire coin surface.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Husayn bin Ali proclaimed himself King of the Hejaz in October 1916, having launched the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule in June of that year with British encouragement and financial backing. These early bronze issues were struck at the Constantinople mint — an awkward dependency on Ottoman infrastructure for a king who had just declared war on Ottoman authority. The revolt's British sponsors, chiefly through the Arab Bureau in Cairo, funded Husayn's administration substantially in gold sovereigns, making his own small-denomination coinage more symbolic than functional.
