| Obverse description | Central square field containing multiple lines of Arabic religious and dynastic inscriptions in raised relief, including the Shahada and references to the Saadian ruler. The square is framed by a plain linear border, beyond which a marginal band carries additional Arabic legends encircling the entire design. The outer rim is defined by a fine beaded border. Decorative rosette motifs appear as word separators within the central field. The overall execution is characteristic of late Saadian hammered gold coinage. |
