| Reverse description | Central field displays a circular cartouche containing the denomination inscription in Arabic script, indicating the fractional value of one-eighth qirsh. The surrounding field is filled with multi-line Arabic legends arranged in the four quadrants, including the mint name and the Hijri date 1334, all executed in the same dense calligraphic style as the obverse. No figural or ornamental devices appear; the design relies entirely on the elegance of the Arabic script. The legends are raised in relief against a flat field, with a beaded or plain inner border enclosing the central cartouche. |
