| Reversbeschreibung | Central field features a square cartouche defined by double ruled lines, divided into registers containing multi-line Arabic inscriptions in Maghribi script recording the ruler's name and titles. The inner field reads the name and laqab of the sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, distributed across three or four horizontal lines. A marginal legend encircles the outer field of the irregular flan, partially missing at the edges as is typical of hammered Saadian half-dirhams. The engraving is bold and characteristic of the Moroccan hammered coinage tradition of the late 16th century. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Ahmad al-Mansur came to power immediately after the Battle of the Three Kings in August 1578 — a catastrophic engagement that killed the King of Portugal, two rival Moroccan claimants, and effectively ended Portuguese ambitions in West Africa in a single afternoon. The silver for his coinage was not incidental: al-Mansur's 1591 conquest of the Songhay Empire gave him direct control of the Saharan gold and salt trade routes, flooding his treasury and earning him the epithet "al-Dhahabi" — the Golden.
The half-dirham denomination was the workhorse of small commercial exchange across Moroccan markets during his reign.
