| Reverse description | The reverse presents a similar layout of multi-line Arabic inscriptions occupying the entire central field, rendered in raised relief consistent with the hammered technique. The text, arranged in four to five horizontal lines, contains Quranic verses and the ruler's titulature, including references to Abu Mahally al-Mahdi. A beaded inner circle encloses the central inscription field, while the marginal legend continues around the periphery within a further beaded outer border. The date AH 1021 (1612 CE) appears within the legend, following standard Saadian dinar typology. The surface shows characteristic flow lines and die-shift typical of hand-struck Islamic gold dinars of the period. |
