| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious and titular inscription arranged in horizontal bands within a plain inner border. The legends are executed in the Kufic script characteristic of Andalusian taifa coinage of the 11th century. A circular marginal legend runs around the outer border, separated from the central inscription by a linear frame. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than the die, with characteristic hammered surface texture and some patination. The overall design follows the Umayyad-derived format standard for Abbadid dirham coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script, arranged in several horizontal lines within a circular inner border, following the standard format of Andalusian Islamic coinage. A circular marginal legend in Arabic encircles the central panel, separated by a linear ring. The coin exhibits the typical irregular, chipped flan associated with hammered taifa-period dirhams, with visible wear and patination obscuring portions of the legend. The design adheres to the Umayyad caliphal prototype, with religious formulae distributed across the field in the tradition of al-Andalus mint production. |
