| Obverse description | At centre, a faithful reproduction of the obverse of a historical Almohad dinar, featuring dense Arabic calligraphic legends arranged within a square cartouche framed by double ruled lines; the surrounding margin between the cartouche and the inner circle carries additional Arabic inscriptions. Outside the raised inner circle, the Latin peripheral legend reads 'ESPAÑA 2012 M 20 EURO', identifying the issuer, mint mark, date, and face value. The overall design faithfully evokes the characteristic square-in-circle composition of Almohad-period gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | At centre, a faithful reproduction of the reverse of the same historical Almohad dinar, displaying dense multi-line Arabic religious legends within a square cartouche bordered by double ruled lines, with additional Arabic inscriptions filling the annular margin between the cartouche and the inner circle. Above and below the central square, short horizontal text panels are separated by ruled lines following authentic Almohad dinar typology. The design replicates the characteristic epigraphic style of 12th–13th century Maghrebi and Andalusian gold coinage. |
