| Reverse description | Central field bearing a hammered Arabic inscription arranged in three lines reading 'Duriba / bi-Fas / 1209', denoting the mint city of Fes (Fes Hazrat) and the Hijri year of striking (AH 1209, corresponding to 1795 CE). The legend is set within a rectangular panel formed by ruled horizontal lines dividing the inscription, a hallmark feature of Moroccan Alawi-period dirhams struck at Fes. The flan edges are irregular and exhibit the typical characteristics of hand-struck coinage, with uneven metal distribution across the surface. The Arabic numerals of the date are rendered in the Eastern Arabic script convention standard to Moroccan coinage of this era. No additional decorative motifs or border devices are present. |
