| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
