| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Shahada inscription in two lines of Arabic script within a stylised cartouche: 'La ilaha illa Allah / Muhammad rasul Allah' (There is no god but God / Muhammad is the Messenger of God). The legends are rendered in a bold, somewhat irregular hand typical of Moroccan hammered silver coinage of the early 19th century. The field surrounding the central text is plain, and the flan exhibits the characteristic irregular, slightly scalloped edge produced by the hammering technique. No figural devices or mint marks appear on this side. |
