| Reverse description | A functional Qibla compass mechanism occupies the entire reverse, with a magnetised arrow mounted at centre pointing toward Mecca. The outer ring bears Arabic numerals from 1 to 35, each numeral representing a ten-degree increment of the 360-degree circle, with an amethyst crystal inset marking the zero and 36 position aligned to the direction of Mecca. An inner circle carries the Arabic text of the Shahada and a Quranic verse from Surah An-Nisa (4:103) in fine relief. The year 2012 appears within the Arabic legend field. |
