| Obverse description | Square hammered gold flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskhī script arranged across the entire field, enclosed within a double linear border. The legend records the full genealogical titulature of the Nasrid sultan Muhammad XIII (Abu Abdullah Muhammad), citing his descent through the Banu Nasr line back to Ismail ibn Nasr, accompanied by a pious invocation. The relief lettering is bold and deeply struck, characteristic of late Nasrid Granadan coinage, with the script filling the field from edge to edge in horizontal registers. |

| Reverse description | Square hammered gold flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Naskhī script arranged in horizontal registers across the entire field, enclosed within a double linear border. The reverse presents a second face of this bracteate-style uniface dinar, displaying additional Arabic religious or genealogical text struck in bold relief. The lettering is deeply impressed into the thin gold flan, consistent with the hammered technique employed at the Granada mint during the final decade of Nasrid rule. |
