| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, the borders of which are decorated with a continuous row of pellets. Arabic inscription in multiple lines fills the central hexagonal area within the star, while additional Arabic legends appear in the six triangular points of the star. The entire design is set within an irregularly shaped flan characteristic of hammered Ayyubid coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a prominent six-pointed star (hexagram) composed of two overlapping triangles, each side bordered by a pellet-dotted ridge. A multi-line Arabic inscription occupies the central hexagonal compartment of the star, with further epigraphic elements inscribed within the six outer triangular points. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, consistent with hand-struck Ayyubid silver half-dirhams of Aleppo. |
