| Obverse description | Central field bearing a bold Arabic religious inscription in Maghrebi Naskh script, densely struck and occupying the majority of the flan. The lettering is arranged in interlocking lines typical of Saadian hammered coinage, with the Shahada or sovereign's name formula rendered in raised relief. The irregular flan shows characteristic edge cracks and slight undulation consistent with hand-struck production. The overall design is contained within an unbordered field, with no decorative frame. |
