| Obverse description | Central field displays the Arabic word for 'Justice' (عدل) rendered in bold calligraphic script, with the Hijri date 1258 inscribed beneath. The legends are arranged in a simple, unadorned layout typical of early Arabian Peninsula coinage. The field is flat with no border ornamentation, reflecting the austere minting style of the Kathiri Sultanate. Strike quality is characteristic of provincial milled coinage of the mid-nineteenth century. |

| Obverse lettering | عدل ١٢٥٨ (Translation: Justice 1258) |
| Reverse description | Central field bears the Arabic inscription 'Tarim' (تريم), denoting the mint city, accompanied by the Hijri date 1258 below. The lettering is executed in a plain calligraphic hand consistent with regional Hadhramaut coinage conventions of the period. A stylized device, possibly a boat or curved motif, appears beneath the inscription, a characteristic element seen on Kathiri Sultanate issues. The flat, unbordered field and simple layout are typical of the sultanate's provincial coinage production. |
