| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Shahada in two lines of Arabic script: the first line reading 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but God) and the second 'Muhammad rasul Allah' (Muhammad is the Messenger of God). The inscription is boldly struck in raised relief within a plain, irregular flan typical of hammered Moroccan silver coinage of the Alaoui dynasty. The script is rendered in a compact, angular style characteristic of the Maghrebi calligraphic tradition. The field is flat and undecorated, with no border or additional ornamental elements. The irregular planchet edges reflect the hand-hammered production technique of the Tetuan mint. |
