Obverse description Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious inscription in Maghrebi script, boldly struck in raised relief on an irregular flan. The legend is arranged in stacked horizontal lines within the central area, surrounded by a circular marginal inscription along the inner rim. Typical of Alaouite hammered dirhams, the lettering exhibits the characteristic angular and cursive forms of 18th-century Moroccan epigraphy. The flan shows natural irregularities consistent with hand-hammering technique. The overall style is purely epigraphic with no figurative elements.
