| Obverse lettering | سلطان محمد عما د الدين اسكندر (Translation: Sultan Mohammed Amadaddin Iskander) |
| Reverse description | The reverse field is filled with a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in three horizontal lines within a plain border. The legend declares the sultan's sovereignty over land and sea and records the Hijri regnal year. The script is deeply incuse in a bold, calligraphic style consistent with Maldivian bronzes of the late nineteenth century. The Hijri year appears prominently, with variant placement distinguishing the two catalogue sub-types (KM#36.1 and KM#36.2). |
