| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious legend in bold Maghribi script, arranged within an informal cartouche typical of Moroccan hammered coinage. The inscription occupies the majority of the flan, with characteristic flowing calligraphy of the Sharifian tradition. The coin exhibits an irregularly shaped planchet consistent with hand-struck production, with two pierced holes visible at the margins, indicating later use as a pendant or decorative piece. The fields show natural die wear and surface patina consistent with circulation. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription in Maghribi script, recording the sultan's name and titles along with the mint name Marrakesh (Marrakech) and the Hijri date. The legend is arranged in the compact, overlapping calligraphic style characteristic of Alaoui dynasty hammered dirhams. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with two pierced holes at the rim consistent with secondary use as an ornament. The strike is typical of hand-hammered Moroccan silver coinage of the early 19th century. |
