| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold Arabic inscription arranged in two registers across the field, conveying the regnal year, mint name, and accession year. The upper register bears the regnal year numeral above the word 'ضربي' (struck), while the central legend reads 'مصر' (Misr/Egypt), identifying the Cairo mint. The Hijri accession year '١٢٢٣' (1223 AH) appears prominently in the lower field. The composition is executed in strong relief against a plain, granular silver field, enclosed by a reeded outer border consistent with the obverse. |
