| Reverse description | A finely detailed balance scale occupies the centre of the field, its ornate beam suspended from a decorative finial, with two hanging pans in equilibrium, symbolising justice. Beneath the scale, the Arabic word عدل (meaning 'Justice') is inscribed in the field. The circular legend IMPERIAL BRITISH EAST AFRICA COMPANY runs along the periphery within a beaded border, with the Heaton mint mark H and date 1888 positioned in the lower exergue flanked by pellets. |
