| Obverse description | Central field bears multiple lines of Kufic Arabic inscription arranged within a double circular border, with the ruler's name and titles displayed in the characteristic angular script of Andalusian taifa coinage. The inscriptions are set within a beaded or dotted inner circle, surrounded by a marginal legend running along the outer rim. The overall layout follows the traditional Islamic epigraphic dirham format, with no figural imagery. The field shows slight irregularity consistent with hand-struck hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Central field contains multiple lines of Kufic Arabic inscription within a double circular border, presenting the Shahada or Quranic formulae typical of Andalusian taifa dirhams of the 5th century AH. A marginal legend encircles the outer rim, partially visible on this irregularly struck flan. The lettering displays the angular, somewhat crude Kufic style characteristic of provincial taifa mint production. The surface shows typical die wear and flan irregularity associated with hammered coinage of this period. |
