| Obverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a raised circular border. The inner legend reads the Shahada and titles of the Almoravid ruler 'Ali ibn Yusuf, presented in angular Kufic script. A secondary circular legend in cursive Arabic script encircles the central panel within an outer beaded border. The overall design is epigraphic in character, with no figurative elements, consistent with Almoravid Islamic aesthetic conventions. The mint name Mursiya (Murcia) appears within the central inscription field. |
