| Reverse description | The reverse field is dominated by a quatrefoil or four-lobed arabesque composition formed by interlocking cursive Arabic letterforms, radiating from a central point in a symmetrical pattern. The Arabic legend, reading 'Sultan Al-Adil Malik Al-Zahir', is integrated within the decorative scrollwork in a manner characteristic of Brunei hammered pitis issues. A dotted border runs along the outer rim. The overall design is deeply struck, with the relief elements displaying the irregular texture inherent to the cast and hammered production method. |
