Reverse description The reverse presents a finely rendered scene of refugee life, depicting two draped women and a child seated before a row of pitched tents extending across the middle ground in low relief, evoking the humanitarian consequences of regional conflict. The figures are rendered with expressive naturalism, the women wearing traditional robes and one adorned with a beaded necklace. The denomination 10 SHILLINGS appears in bold Latin letters at the upper left of the field, with the Arabic numeral ١٠ and the word شلن positioned to the upper right, together forming a bilingual value statement across the top of the coin.
