| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregularly struck reverse displaying a multi-line Arabic legend in naskh script occupying the entire field, recording the mint name and regnal date. The inscription reads across the flan in characteristic Maldivian calligraphic style, with the mint formula referencing Malé as the place of issue. Relief is bold but uneven, with the flan edges showing the typical irregular outline of a hand-hammered coin produced at the Malé mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The lariat (or larin) was a distinctive hook-shaped silver wire coinage that circulated widely across the Indian Ocean trade networks from the 16th century onward, and the Maldives adopted it so thoroughly that the denomination name outlasted the form entirely. By the time bronze struck coinage replaced the old wire larins in the Maldives, the archipelago had been using the larin as its primary monetary unit for over three centuries. KM#17 dates to the early 20th century, issued under the Maldivian sultanate before the island chain became a British protectorate in all but name.
