| Reverse description | Hammered reverse bearing two horizontal registers of Arabic legend in Naskh script, divided by a linear border. The upper register carries the sultan's honorific title 'Sultan of the Land and Sea,' while the lower register bears the Hijri date of issue. Multiple date varieties are known across the reign, ranging from AH 1146 to AH 1163. The epigraphic design is purely textual with no decorative border or figurative elements, conforming to the established tradition of Maldivian Islamic coinage. The flan is irregular and the strike is characteristic of hand-hammered production. |
