| Reverse description | Multiple lines of Arabic inscription filling the central field within an informal cartouche, rendered in Maghribi script consistent with Saadian dynastic coinage of the Fez mint. The legends occupy the full face of the flan with minimal marginal space, characteristic of the reduced-weight dirham series. The strike is slightly off-center on an irregular planchet, with areas of flat strike visible at the periphery. The overall style reflects the provincial hammered coinage tradition of the early seventeenth-century Moroccan mints. |
