| Reverse description | A detailed architectural rendering of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem dominates the central field, depicted in three-quarter frontal perspective showing the ornate facade with arched windows, decorative tilework, and colonnaded portico. The iconic dome, embellished with applied Swarovski crystal elements simulating the gilded surface, rises prominently above the octagonal drum, crowned by a crescent finial. A green Swarovski crystal component is inset at the central doorway of the building. The Arabic legend الإسراء والمعراج (Isra and Mi'raj) curves along the upper field, while قبة الصخرة (Dome of the Rock) is inscribed in larger script below the structure, and من المسجد الحرام إلى المسجد الأقصى (From Al Masjid Al Haram to Al Masjid Al Aqsa) appears along the lower field. |
