Beschrijving keerzijde	Within a raised circular inner border, the field contains a three-line Arabic inscription identifying the mint and regnal year: the mint name 'Omdurman' (أم درمان) with the phrase 'ضرب في' (struck in) above, and the AH date 1311 with the regnal year 11 below. The design is enclosed by the same decorative wreath of stylized leaves and seed pods as the obverse, creating a uniform border treatment on both sides.

Aanvullende informatie	The Mahdist State operated its mint at Omdurman under extreme material constraints — copper and silver supplies were inconsistent, and billon alloys varied considerably from one striking to the next. This issue dates to the final years of Khalifa Abdallahi's rule, a period when the state was under mounting pressure from Anglo-Egyptian forces advancing from the north. Coinage production continued as a deliberate assertion of independent authority, even as the political situation deteriorated. Omdurman fell to Kitchener in 1898, ending the Mahdist monetary system entirely.
