| Reverse description | The reverse displays multiple horizontal registers of Arabic script covering the entire field, presenting the ruler's name and titles alongside further religious formulae. The legends are struck in bold raised relief, consistent with the hammered production technique of Almohad dirhams from the Murcia (Mursiya) mint. A dotted border runs along the coin's edge, mirroring the obverse treatment. The overall layout reflects the characteristic Almohad epigraphic dirham type, devoid of any ornamental or figural elements. The strike is somewhat irregular, typical of hand-hammered provincial coinage of this period. |
