| Obverse description | Central field contains three horizontal lines of Arabic religious inscription within a single-line square border, itself enclosed within a dotted inner circle. The marginal legend runs continuously around the outer ring, separated from the central square by a plain circular band. The overall composition follows the classic Abbasid dirham format, with all design elements executed in raised Arabic script against a flat, unadorned field. The die-struck legends are characteristic of early 9th-century Abbasid calligraphic style. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays three horizontal lines of Arabic inscription, including the name of the governor Ibrahim, arranged within a single-line square border enclosed by a dotted inner circle. A continuous marginal legend occupies the outer ring, separated from the central square by a plain circular band. The reverse follows the standard Abbasid dirham layout, with the mint name and hijri year incorporated into the lower register of the central inscription. The calligraphy is typical of the early Abbasid hammered coinage, with angular Kufic script throughout. |
