| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the Seal of Solomon (hexagram), rendered as two interlaced triangles forming a six-pointed star with a raised central pellet at the intersection. The design is executed in a bold, primitive style characteristic of Moroccan hammered and cast coinage of the Alaoui dynasty. The surrounding field is plain, with the flan showing the irregular edges typical of cast bronze production. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Arabic inscription in the field, recording the mint name and the Hijri regnal year. The legend reads 'Essaouira' (الصويرة) above the date, identifying the place of issue as the Atlantic coastal mint. The lettering is boldly cast in relief against a plain field, with the characteristically crude workmanship associated with Moroccan cast falus coinage of the early nineteenth century. |
