| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold two-line Arabic inscription across the central field reading 'Duriba fi Misr' (Struck in Egypt), with the regnal year numeral positioned above and the Hijri date 1255 displayed below in large, clearly struck Arabic numerals. A horizontal rule separates the mint name from the date, giving the legend a structured, formal appearance. The field is plain and unadorned save for the inscriptions, drawing full attention to the calligraphic text. The entire design is surrounded by a beaded or toothed border consistent with the obverse variety. |
