The bimetallic reverse features a three-quarter facing portrait of Ali Ammar (known as Ali La Pointe), the Algerian independence fighter and martyr, rendered in high relief within the aluminium bronze centre against a fine guilloche background. The name 'علي عمار' is inscribed in Arabic along the upper arc of the stainless steel ring. Four five-pointed stars are evenly positioned within the ring at the cardinal diagonal points. The Gregorian birth and death years '1930' and '1957' appear at the lower left and right of the inner border respectively, while the lower arc of the ring carries the dual-calendar date '2021 - 1443' in both Gregorian and Hijri numerals. |

Ali Ammar — better known by his nom de guerre Si Larbi — was a key FLN commander in Algiers during the Battle of Algiers, the brutal 1956–1957 urban guerrilla campaign that became a turning point in the war for independence. He was captured by French paratroopers under General Massu in 1957 and executed. The French military's systematic use of torture during that operation later generated lasting controversy, including a 2001 acknowledgment by General Paul Aussaresses that such methods were officially sanctioned.
