| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multiple horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic inscription arranged within a double circular border. The inner legend panel contains a religious formula or ruler's name in several registers, surrounded by a circular marginal inscription in Arabic script running along the inner edge of the broad outer band. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges, consistent with hammered gold coinage of the Iberian taifa period. The execution is characteristic of early 5th-century AH Andalusian minting practice, with the lettering displaying elongated vertical strokes typical of Kufic calligraphy. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a central field with multiple horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic inscription disposed in successive registers within a double circular border, mirroring the obverse layout. The marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central panel within the broad outer band. The inscriptions likely contain the Shahada and references to the ruling authority or the name Al-Hadjib Khalid. The hammered flan displays characteristic surface irregularities and a slightly lobate edge consistent with Taifa-period gold coinage of al-Andalus. |
