| Obverse description | Central field features the Seal of Solomon (Star of David-style hexagram replaced here by a five-pointed star), rendered as a large pentagram set within an elaborate arabesque framework of interlacing foliate scrollwork. A stylized rosette occupies the centre of the star. The legend EMPIRE CHERIFIEN arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the Arabic legend الإمبراطورية الشريفة (Al-Imbaraturiyya al-Sharifah) curves along the lower border. The overall design is finely engraved in a characteristic Moroccan decorative style. |
