| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Seal of Solomon (a six-pointed star formed by two interlaced triangles), rendered in low relief in the characteristic crude style of Moroccan hammered and cast coinage of the Alaoui dynasty. The device is enclosed within two concentric circles forming a border, the outer rim exhibiting the irregular flan edges typical of cast production. No mint name or date appears on this face. |

| Additional information |
Moulay Sulayman's reign was defined by deliberate isolation — he closed Moroccan ports to most European trade and suppressed the major Atlantic commercial centers, a policy that gutted the economic infrastructure his father Sidi Mohammed ibn Abdallah had spent decades building. Coinage from this period reflects the administrative contraction: mint attribution was inconsistently applied or omitted entirely, and the absence of a mint name on this type is not an anomaly but a recurring feature of the issue.
KM#99.1 distinguishes this type from related strikings by that missing mint designation alone.
