Obverse description Central field dominated by a six-pointed star (Seal of Solomon / Star of David), formed by two interlocking triangles, enclosed within a circular border. Six small circular pellets are positioned in the alternating triangular points surrounding the central hexagonal field. The design is rendered in a bold, slightly irregular cast style typical of Moroccan hammered and cast coinage of the Alaoui dynasty period. Diameter may vary between 26 and 28 mm due to the casting technique employed.
