| Obverse description | Arabic religious inscription presented within a ruled square frame, characteristic of Alaoui Sharifian hammered coinage. The legend, rendered in bold Arabic script, occupies the central field within the square cartouche. Diagonal ruled lines extend into the surrounding field beyond the square border, a typical decorative feature of Moroccan hammered dirhams of this period. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck production. The overall design follows the traditional Islamic epigraphic style with no figural imagery. |
