| Reverse description | Central square cartouche enclosing multiple horizontal lines of Arabic script in the Maghribi tradition, presenting Quranic verses and the ruler's titles, with decorative pellet fillers between lines. The square is framed by a double linear border, outside which runs a marginal band of Arabic inscription encircling the entire field. The outer rim features a further decorative border of pellets or geometric ornament consistent with Saadian gold coinage. The overall design mirrors the obverse in layout, adhering to the traditional Almohad-derived square-dinar typology perpetuated by the Saadian sultans. |
