| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a large tughra (calligraphic imperial monogram) of Caliph Abdullah ibn Muhammad, rendered in elaborate Arabic script. Two six-pointed stars flank the tughra, one to the upper left and one to the lower right of the design. The entire motif is enclosed within a toothed or beaded border running along the coin's circumference. The field surrounding the tughra is plain, lending emphasis to the central calligraphic device. The overall style reflects the Mahdist tradition of adapting Ottoman numismatic conventions to their own coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Mahdist State's coinage was produced at the Omdurman mint under conditions of chronic material shortage, which accounts for the debased billon alloy found across most issues of the period. By 1894, the state was entering its terminal decade — Anglo-Egyptian reconquest forces under Kitchener would destroy Omdurman four years later at the Battle of Karari. The KM#9.2 variety is distinguished from KM#9.1 by the presence of stars in the field, a detail that reflects local die-cutting practice rather than any centralized design directive.
