| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central Arabic inscription reading خمسة مثقال اورمچى ضرب (Five Mithqal, struck at Urumchi) accompanied by the Hijri date ١٣٢٣, arranged in multiple lines within an elaborate wreath of stylized floral and foliate ornaments including blossoms, leaves, and stems encircling the legend. The decorative wreath is rendered in a lush, somewhat eclectic style reflecting Central Asian artistic conventions. The toothed dentilated border frames the entire composition. No central device or portrait is present; the inscription and surrounding vegetal ornament together form the complete design. |
