| Reverse description | Central field displays a square cartouche enclosed within a dotted inner border, containing three to four lines of Arabic script bearing the ruler's name and titles, consistent with Hafsid epigraphic convention. Lateral borders flanking the central square carry vertical columns of additional Arabic legends in a smaller script register. The outer margin of the flan bears further fragmentary Arabic inscriptions, partially off-flan due to the irregular hammered blank. The composition reflects the standard Hafsid adaptation of the Almohad square-format dinar, emphasizing textual content over figurative imagery. |
