| Reverse description | Central square panel bearing multiple lines of Arabic inscription in relief, containing Quranic verses and the kalima, arranged in the distinctive Almohad epigraphic style. The square panel is enclosed within a linear frame, surrounded by a circular marginal legend in Arabic script occupying the outer field. The reverse composition mirrors the obverse in its square-within-circle layout, typical of Almohad gold coinage, with the overall surface showing the characteristic irregular flan of hammered production. |
