| Reverse description | Central vignette of a tall date palm dominates the composition, flanked on the left by a cotton plant in bloom and on the right by a maize stalk, with sheaves of wheat rendered in the lower foreground — all executed in fine intaglio engraving against a light guilloche underprint. Denomination values appear in all four corners, alternating between English sterling notation and Arabic script. The overall design is framed by an ornate geometric border with repeating guilloche patterns. |
