| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central Arabic inscription within a dotted inner circle, presenting the denomination and Islamic declaration of faith. Outer Arabic legends surround the inner circle, referencing the holy cities of Mecca and Medina and affirming Husayn's authority as their guardian. A stylized tughra or calligraphic emblem occupies the lower central field, rendered in the Ottoman decorative tradition. The legends are arranged in multiple registers, filling the field in a dense calligraphic composition characteristic of early Hejazi coinage. The overall layout mirrors the obverse in its use of concentric text zones separated by a beaded border. |
