| Obverse description | Entirely epigraphic design consisting of multiple lines of Arabic Kufic-style script filling the field, with decorative pellets and geometric ornaments interspersed among the legends. The inscription, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, references religious formulae and the ruler's name. The coin is struck on an irregular, slightly curved flan typical of Taifa-period hammered silver coinage. The legends are boldly rendered in relief against a flat field, with no figurative imagery. |

| Reverse description | Entirely epigraphic reverse displaying multiple registers of Arabic cursive script filling the full field of the irregular flan. The inscription continues religious and dynastic titulature, consistent with Taifa-era coinage conventions from the Badajoz region. The script is boldly struck in high relief, with the letters flowing in characteristic cursive style across the coin's surface. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, as is typical of hand-struck quirat coinage of this period. |
