| Reverse description | Central square cartouche enclosing five lines of Arabic inscription in Maghrebi script, arranged in horizontal registers, bearing the ruler's titles and mint name in raised hammered relief. The legends identify the issuing ruler as Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Abi Hammu and record the mint city of Tlemcen. A border of fine lines frames the central square, with marginal text running along the outer periphery of the cartouche. The irregular flan edges display surface roughness consistent with hand-struck North African gold coinage of the Zayyanid period. The epigraphy is bold and characteristic of the Maghrebi chancellery script employed on western Islamic coinage of the 15th century. |
