| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan of irregular polygonal form enclosed within a beaded border. The field bears a central Arabic inscription arranged in multiple lines, surrounded by ornamental pellet groupings and foliate devices typical of Alaoui Sharifian coinage. The mint name legend 'Struck in Marrakesh' (ضرب بمراكش) is distributed across the field in bold Maghrebi script. The overall design follows the traditional Moroccan hammered dirham format, with no figurative imagery, in accordance with Islamic numismatic convention. |
