| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in raised relief, divided by horizontal lines into distinct registers in the traditional Maghrebi hammered coin style. The legend references the Hijri date 1256 (corresponding to 1840 CE) and additional formulaic religious or administrative text. The design is arranged symmetrically within the roughly circular flan, with a beaded border encircling the inscribed area. The irregular edge and variable strike depth are consistent with hand-hammered production at the Tagdemt workshop. |
