| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a prominent octagram (eight-pointed star), characteristic of Moroccan Alaoui hammered coinage, surrounded by a circular Arabic religious legend. The die-struck design is executed in relief on an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered production. The coin bears a post-issue piercing hole at the lower right, suggesting secondary use as an ornament or pendant. The surfaces display the characteristic granular texture and uneven strike of cast or hammered Moroccan dirhams of this period. |
