Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse features a functional Qibla compass design with a rotating magnetic arrow at centre, surrounded by an inner circular band bearing the Shahada in Arabic calligraphy and a Quranic verse from Surah An-Nisa (4:103). An outer graduated ring displays Arabic numerals from 1 to 35, each increment representing ten degrees of the circle, with an amethyst crystal set at the top marking zero and 36, oriented toward Mecca.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Niger's 2012 commemorative program produced several religiously themed issues aimed squarely at the Gulf collector market, where demand for Islamic-motif silver was running high in the early 2010s. This piece functions as a working qibla compass — the bezel rotates to indicate the direction of Mecca — making it one of the few coins in any modern series with a genuine mechanical component embedded in the flan itself.
