| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Arabic mint inscription in two lines, reading 'ضرب مكه' (Struck in Mecca), rendered in a bold, informal hand-struck calligraphic style typical of early 19th-century Arabian coinage. The legends are set within an irregular, unstruck flan with no border or decorative elements. The script is deeply struck, showing the characteristic crude yet legible style of Sharifate hammered issues. |
