Reverse description Central field bearing a three-line Maghribi Arabic religious legend enclosed within a beaded or pellet border, clearly visible on the coin image. The inscription, rendered in the bold angular Maghribi script typical of Dila'i hammered dirhams, reads 'Our Lord is He, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.' The beaded border frames the legend and is partially visible around the circumference of the irregularly shaped flan. The overall strike is typical of the crude hammered technique employed during the Dila'i interregnum period in Morocco. No mint name or date is present on this side.
