| Reverse description | Epigraphic reverse bearing a three-line Arabic inscription in the field, reading 'Madinat / al-Harar / 1288' (The city of Harar, [year] 1288). The inscription is arranged horizontally across the coin's irregular flan in a style typical of small hammered Islamic provincial issues. No decorative border or figurative elements are present. The date 1288 AH corresponds to 1871 CE. The lettering, though somewhat roughly executed due to the hammered technique, is legible and conforms to standard Harari coinage of the Amirate period. |
