Reverse description The reverse field is dominated by multi-layered Arabic calligraphic inscriptions in Naskh script, arranged concentrically within a prominent inner circle that divides the design into a central panel and a wide outer legend band. The central circular area contains the Shahada divided by a horizontal line: 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but God) above and 'Muhammad rasul Allah' (Muhammad is the messenger of God) below. The surrounding outer band carries the royal epithet 'Al-Mutawakkil 'ala Allah' (He who relies on God), the phrase 'Rabb al-'Alamin' (Lord of the Worlds), and the mint name 'San'a' at the base, all rendered in deeply struck, high-relief calligraphy against a flat field.
