Very fine, Very rare.

The coin is of a rare variety where the name of the king is inscribed with the letter 'Ye' at the end in its 'lazy' or Majhool form thus creating an attractive calligraphic divider in the cartouche. The remnants of the mint-name, inscribed in the bottom quadrant, show that it is likely to have preceded by the epithet 'Dar al-Khilafat'.
