Obverse description The obverse displays the tughra of Sultan Mehmed V Reshad (with the epithet 'Reshat' to the right) set within a beaded inner circle, flanked by foliate and wheat-ear sprays at the base. A large rectangular countermark bearing the Arabic inscription 'الحجاز' (Al-Hejaz) is applied prominently in the central field, overstruck in black ink as an emergency validation mark. The outer border is decorated with a continuous dotted rim and Arabic legends. This countermark identifies the coin as officially sanctioned for circulation within the Kingdom of Hejaz under Sharif Husayn ibn Ali.
