| Reverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan with a multi-line Arabic legend filling the entire field in bold Maghrebi script. The inscription names the ruler as Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful) Abu Muhammad 'Abd Allah, presented in stacked lines across the field without border or ornamental frame. The lettering is deeply struck in high relief, consistent with Saadian hammered dirham production of the mid-sixteenth century. |
