Reverse description Central field features a six-pointed star (Seal of Solomon) with a small central dot, enclosed within a plain circle, set against a field of sweeping Arabic inscriptions in a bold, stylized cursive script. The legends, which include the royal titulature of Sultan Abd al-Aziz and the mint name, are distributed symmetrically around the central motif. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The engraving style reflects the refined workmanship of the Monnaie de Paris, with well-struck, high-relief Arabic lettering characteristic of late 19th-century Moroccan silver coinage.
