| Obverse description | Within a double linear circle bordered by a beaded grenetis, a central Arabic inscription naming the mint of Marrakesh accompanied by the date rendered in Western numerals. The field is plain, with the legend confined within the inner circle. The overall style is characteristic of Alaouite hammered silver coinage of the late 18th century. |
