| Obverse description | The obverse features an elaborate calligraphic composition in Arabic script, entirely filling the field in the Maghrebi tradition. A central circular medallion contains the Hijri date 1299 surmounted by additional Arabic legends, framed by a raised ring. The surrounding annular field is densely filled with flowing thuluth-style Arabic inscription in multiple registers, separated by ornamental lozenge devices at the cardinal points. The entire design is bordered by a fine toothed or beaded rim. The inscription records the denomination, its legal status, and the mint authorization, in the name of Sultan Moulay al-Hasan I. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large six-pointed star (Seal of Solomon) in bold relief, its triangular points extending nearly to the beaded rim and dividing the surrounding field into six segments, each filled with flowing Arabic calligraphic legends in the Maghrebi style. At the center of the star lies a raised circular medallion bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in thuluth script attesting to the coin's quality and standard weight. The overall design reflects the classical Sharifian coinage aesthetic as struck at the Paris Mint under Moulay al-Hasan I. |
