| Obverse description | Central field bears the Shahada inscription in multiple lines of angular Kufic Arabic script, arranged within a plain inner circle. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script surrounds the central inscription, separated by a beaded border. The overall design is purely epigraphic with no figurative elements, consistent with the aniconic reform coinage introduced under Abd al-Malik. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, characteristic of early Umayyad hammered silver dirhams. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription stating the second part of the Islamic profession of faith and the Quranic verse of mission (Surah 9:33), enclosed within a plain inner circle. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script, likely containing the date and mint name (Manadhir), runs around the perimeter and is separated by a beaded border. The design is entirely epigraphic, reflecting the canonical post-reform Umayyad dirham type. The die work is bold and characteristic of provincial Umayyad mint production. |
