| Obverse description | Central square panel filled with multiple lines of Arabic calligraphic legend in Maghribi script, naming the ruler and conveying dynastic and religious titles. The square is delimited by a fine inner border and an outer dotted or beaded border, with additional marginal Arabic inscriptions running along all four outer segments between the central square and the irregular coin edge. The execution is characteristic of North African hammered gold coinage of the Zayyanid period, with bold raised lettering set against a flat field. |

| Reverse description | Central square panel bearing several lines of Arabic inscription in Maghribi script, arranged concentrically within a circular cartouche set inside the square frame, containing religious formulae and dynastic proclamations. Marginal Arabic legends occupy the four outer segments surrounding the central square, separated by a beaded inner border and a dotted outer border following the irregular flan edge. The style is consistent with Zayyanid hammered gold coinage of Tlemcen, with densely packed calligraphy of uneven strike typical of the period. |
