| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large six-pointed star (Seal of Solomon), formed by two interlaced triangles in raised relief, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding border consists of a continuous row of raised pellets or bosses, typical of Moroccan falus coinage of the Alaouite dynasty. An Arabic inscription appears above the central star device, denoting the sultan's name and mint authority. The overall fabric is characteristic of cast bronze production, with irregular flan edges and uneven surface texture. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a simplified six-pointed star or geometric lattice design in low relief, formed by intersecting lines creating a faceted, diamond-like pattern within an inner circle. The surrounding border is composed of a continuous row of raised granules or pellets encircling the entire device, consistent with Moroccan Alaouite cast bronze coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, reflecting the cast production technique employed at the Tetuan mint. The field surfaces show characteristic porosity and casting marks typical of this series. |
