A flower design is to the right of the toughra. The reverse carries peripheral text including the phrase 'minted in Misr'. The large arabic 5 in the center symbolizes the fraction over 10 (5/10, or 1/2). Below this is the ascension year of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, AH 1293. The date of the coin translates to 1907 AD.
