| Reverse description | Central field bearing the Arabic date inscription in two lines, reading 'سنه ١٢١٥' (Year 1215 AH), struck in a bold, informal calligraphic style consistent with hammered coinage of the Sharifate of Mecca. The numerals are crudely but legibly rendered, with no border, legend, or additional decorative elements surrounding the date. The irregular flan and hand-struck technique are characteristic of this provincial Arabian issue. |
