| Obverse description | Crudely hammered silver flan of irregular round form displaying Arabic inscriptions in the field, arranged in multiple lines. The mint name and date inscription reading 'ضرب بمراكش' with the regnal year appears in the central field, struck in the characteristic rough style of Moroccan hammered coinage of the period. The legends are deeply incuse in areas and show typical uneven strike distribution across the flan. A pierced hole is visible at the lower left of the flan, consistent with use as a pendant or jewelry piece. The surfaces display natural oxidation and patination characteristic of hammered silver coinage of the Alaoui dynasty. |
