| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Arabic mint inscription 'ضرب مراكش' (struck in Marrakesh) rendered in bold Maghrebi script, with decorative pellets and a small floral ornament interspersed among the letters. The legend is enclosed within a single incuse circular border. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hammered coinage of the Alaoui Sultanate period. |
