| Reverse description | Hammered reverse displaying an Arabic inscription in the central field giving the regnal or Hijri date, reading 'Sana 1233' (Year 1233 AH, corresponding to 1818 CE). The legend is struck in a bold but irregular manner across the face of the flan, consistent with the unsophisticated die-cutting typical of small Arabian provincial issues. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional ornaments, borders, or devices. Flan irregularities and weak areas of strike are common to this type. |
