2 1/2 Qirsh - Abdullah

Obverse description	Central field dominated by the toughra of the Khalifa Abdullah ibn Muhammad, rendered in flowing Arabic calligraphy within a lobed cartouche formed by crescent-shaped ornamental borders. The inscription 'umla jadida' (new currency) appears alongside the denomination value below the toughra. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded outer border, with crescent motifs punctuating the inner decorative frame. The composition is characteristic of late Mahdist-era Sudanese coinage, combining Ottoman calligraphic tradition with local stylistic elements.

Reverse description	Central field bears the Arabic inscription 'Azza nasruhu' (May his victory be glorious), the honorific of Khalifa Abdullah, rendered in bold calligraphy within a lobed ornamental cartouche defined by crescent-shaped borders. Below the principal legend, the mint name 'Omdurman' (أم درمان) and the AH date 1312 are inscribed. The design is framed by a continuous beaded outer border with crescent ornaments punctuating the inner frame, consistent with Mahdist coinage conventions. The overall composition reflects the austere yet distinctive style of the Omdurman mint.
