| Obverse description | Central field occupied by four horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic script arranged within a linear square border, containing the Islamic profession of faith (Shahada). The inscription is enclosed within a double circular border composed of pellets and linear rings. The irregular flan edge is characteristic of hand-struck Idrisid coinage. No figural imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays four horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic script within a square border, recording the name of the ruler and mint. The central inscription is surrounded by a marginal legend running within a double circular border of pellets and lines. The flan is irregularly shaped and slightly broader than the die, typical of hammered Idrisid silver dirhams struck at Walilli (Volubilis). The overall style closely follows Abbasid dirham typology adapted for Idrisid dynastic use. |
