| Obverse description | Central square field enclosed within a dotted inner border and a plain outer frame, containing four lines of Arabic inscription in bold Maghrebi script. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script runs around the outer border of the flan, interrupted at the base by a further inscription. The overall design follows the classic Hafsid square-in-circle dinar format inherited from Almohad coinage tradition. |

| Reverse description | Central square field similarly enclosed within a dotted inner border and plain outer frame, bearing four lines of Arabic inscription in Maghrebi script identifying the ruler Abu Faris 'Abd al-'Aziz and his titles. A continuous marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the flan, with an additional inscription segment at the lower margin. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of hammered North African gold coinage of the period. |
