Reverse description Central field displays the Arabic inscription 'ضرب بانكلند' (meaning 'Struck in England') arranged in two lines of Maghrebi script, with the numeral '1' positioned at the top of the inner circle denoting the denomination of one Mazuna. The legend is set within a raised inner circle, surrounded by the same distinctive interlocking geometric key-pattern border as the obverse, reflecting the standardised decorative vocabulary of Moroccan Sharifian bronze coinage. The outermost border is formed by a uniform dentilated rim. The design is entirely epigraphic, consistent with Islamic numismatic conventions prohibiting figural imagery.
