| Reverse description | A detailed engraving of a traditional African dhow under full sail dominates the central field, depicted navigating open waters with its characteristic lateen-rigged sails billowing. A second, smaller dhow is visible in the middle distance to the right, conveying a sense of maritime depth and perspective. Stylised waves rendered in low relief fill the lower field beneath the vessels. The legend AFRICAN DHOW curves along the upper rim in raised Latin letters, while the denomination 500 SHILLINGS is inscribed in two lines to the left of the primary vessel. |
