| Beschrijving voorzijde | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic calligraphic legend in bold Naskh script, filling the coin from top to bottom without any central effigy or device. The name of Allah appears prominently at the top, followed by the full royal titulature of Sultan Barghash bin Said of Zanzibar across successive lines. Small floral ornaments separate sections of the inscription, and the whole design is enclosed within a beaded inner border running along the entire circumference. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Barghash bin Said ruled Zanzibar at the height of its commercial power, when the sultanate controlled the East African clove trade and much of the interior caravan network reaching Lake Tanganyika. This coinage was struck in Birmingham by Ralph Heaton & Sons under contract — Zanzibar had no mint of its own. The 1882 date places it just three years before the Berlin Conference redrew the region's political map without consulting a single African ruler.
KM#4 is the sole riyal type issued under Barghash, and the series was short-lived; his successor's coinage was overtaken almost immediately by British Imperial currency impositions.
