| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a prominent six-pointed star (Star of David / hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, each side outlined with a beaded border, creating six triangular points and a central hexagonal zone. Multi-line Arabic legend occupying the central hexagonal field and the six triangular compartments of the star, bearing the ruler's titles and name. The entire design is enclosed within a plain circular border with an outer beaded or dotted rim, characteristic of Ayyubid hammered silver coinage of the 7th century AH. |

| Reverse description | Central field similarly structured around a six-pointed star formed by two interlaced triangles, each outlined with a beaded border, consistent with the type designation. Multi-line Arabic legend distributed across the central hexagonal compartment and the six triangular points of the star, recording the mint name (Halab/Aleppo), the Hijri date, and the name of the reigning Abbasid caliph. The overall design is enclosed within a plain circular border with an outer beaded rim, reflecting the standardised die-work of the Ayyubid Aleppo mint. |
