| Reverse description | The reverse bears multiple lines of Arabic religious and dynastic inscriptions in Maghrebi script, occupying the full coin surface. The legends are more legible on this face, with broader, rounder letter forms characteristic of Saadian mint production under Abd Allah Al-Ghalib. The flan is irregular and slightly thicker at the center, consistent with hand-hammered production. Partial weakness is visible toward the periphery where die coverage diminishes. |
