| Obverse description | Central field displays the Arabic word 'عام' (meaning 'year') in large Maghrebi calligraphy above the Hijri date 1310 in Western-Arabic numerals, all enclosed within a raised inner circle. The broad outer border is richly decorated with an intricate arabesque pattern of intertwining foliate scrollwork and stylized floral motifs in relief, characteristic of late Alaouite dynasty coinage produced at the Fes mint. |

| Reverse description | The central field bears the Arabic mint formula 'ضرب بفاس' (struck in Fes) rendered in bold Maghrebi cursive calligraphy, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The surrounding border is adorned with an elaborate arabesque frieze of interlaced foliate scrolls and stylized floral ornaments in relief, mirroring the decorative treatment of the obverse and consistent with the artistic conventions of Alaouite bronzes of the late 19th century. |
