| Obverse description | Square flan with irregular, slightly concave edges characteristic of hammered Moroccan silver coinage. The field is occupied entirely by a multi-line Arabic religious legend struck in relief, reading across three lines. The script is executed in a bold, somewhat angular Maghribi hand, with individual letter strokes clearly raised against the flat field. The surfaces show typical die-struck flow lines and minor striking irregularities consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Obverse lettering | الحمد لله رب العالمين (Translation: Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds) |
| Reverse description | Square flan with irregular edges, the field divided into multiple horizontal registers bearing the ruler's titulature in Arabic legend. The inscription, struck in relief in bold Maghribi script, identifies the issuing sovereign by his laqab and kunya. The die work is characteristic of Wattasid mint production, with pronounced letter forms and minor die-shift visible at the margins. The flan exhibits natural flow cracks and surface irregularities typical of hammered silver coinage of this period. |
