| Reverse description | The reverse displays Arabic calligraphic legends in the central field, struck with the same crude hammered technique as the obverse, resulting in uneven relief and partial weakness across the flan. A dotted border follows the irregular edge of the coin. The inscription, arranged in multiple lines, appears to reference a date or additional titulature associated with the Zabid mint authority. The overall composition is typical of early 19th-century Yemeni provincial billon coinage, with the entire design consisting of calligraphic Arabic text without ornamental devices. |
