Dirham - Abd Allah al-Ghalib

Beschrijving voorzijde	Hammered silver flan bearing multiple lines of Arabic script in the Maghribi style arranged across the field, characteristic of Saadian epigraphic coinage. The legends are struck in relief against a granular ground, with the text occupying the entirety of the coin's surface. The irregular flan edges and slightly uneven strike are consistent with hand-hammered production. No figural imagery is present, in accordance with Islamic numismatic tradition.

Beschrijving keerzijde	The reverse displays multiple horizontal lines of Arabic inscription in Maghribi script filling the entire field, typical of Saadian dirham coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. The legends, rendered in bold relief, reference religious formulae and dynastic titles associated with Sultan Abd Allah al-Ghalib. A faint linear border follows the periphery of the irregular flan. The overall strike is characteristic of hand-hammered workshop production of the Fez mint.
