Obverse description Central raised dot surrounded by four arced lobes or curved segments radiating outward, creating a stylized quatrefoil or cross-like pattern within the round flan. The lobes may terminate in pointed or rounded tips depending on the die variety. The design is executed in low relief on a plain field, typical of the crude cast bronze fabric of Moroccan falus coinage of this period. No legend or inscription is present.

Reverse description Six-petalled rosette centered on a pointed heart or pellet motif, the petals arranged symmetrically around the central element and filling the coin's field. The design is rendered in low, somewhat crude relief consistent with the cast production technique characteristic of Alaouite dynasty small bronze coinage. The flan is irregular and shows typical casting roughness. No inscription or mint name appears on this type.
