| Obverse description | Irregular hammered gold flan bearing a dense field of multiple lines of Arabic calligraphic inscriptions in raised relief, occupying the central and right portion of the die. The legends, rendered in the Maghribi script tradition, contain religious formulae and dynastic titulature typical of Hafsid coinage. The left field is largely blank due to the off-center strike, a common characteristic of medieval Islamic hammered dinars. The overall style is consistent with the epigraphic typology of the late Hafsid period. |

| Reverse description | Irregular hammered gold flan displaying multiple horizontal lines of bold Arabic inscriptions in raised relief, arranged across the upper and central field. A decorative dotted border is partially visible along the left and right margins of the die. The legends, written in Maghribi calligraphic style, include the ruler's name and titles, reading in part the name of the Hafsid sultan Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad V. The lower field is largely blank, again reflecting the off-center nature of the hammered strike. |
