| Obverse description | Central field contains a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged in horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. A marginal legend in Arabic script runs continuously around the inner circle border, contained within a beaded outer ring. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with characteristic hammered surface texture. The overall style follows the Fatimid-influenced dinar tradition prevalent in North Africa during the 10th–11th centuries. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in kufic or semi-kufic script, arranged in four horizontal lines within a plain inner circle, likely containing the shahada and additional religious formulae. A marginal Arabic legend encircles the inner die within a beaded outer border. The flan edges are uneven, consistent with hand-struck hammered production. The epigraphy follows the Fatimid dinar convention widely imitated across North Africa during the 11th century. |
