| Obverse description | Central field occupied by multi-line Arabic legend struck in bold relief on an irregular flan, recording the mint name Miknas (Meknes) and the AH date 1177, corresponding to 1764 AD. The inscriptions are executed in a characteristic Maghribi script style typical of Alaoui Sharifian coinage. A partial border of pellets frames the central legend along portions of the coin's periphery. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the period. |
