| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing multiple lines of Arabic script arranged within a rectangular cartouche framed by a plain linear border. The legend occupies the entire field and references the mint city of Marrakesh (Marrakech), with the AH date inscribed in the lower register. The coin exhibits an irregular flan shape typical of hammered Moroccan dirhams of the Alaoui dynasty, with slightly uneven edges and natural striking irregularities. |

| Reverse description | Hammered flan displaying multiple horizontal lines of bold Arabic script filling the entire field, divided by incuse lines into distinct registers. The central legend proclaims the religious formula and the name of Sultan Sidi Mohammed III (Mohammed ben Abdallah), characteristic of Alaoui Sharifian coinage. The strike is slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered production, and the flan shows areas of uneven metal flow at the periphery. |
