| Obverse description | Three-line Arabic inscription filling the field, citing al-Aziz Uthman as overlord above the name of the issuing sultan al-Mansur Muhammad I. The legends are executed in angular Kufic-influenced Naskh script typical of Ayyubid copper coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck production. Patination is heavy, with encrustation partially obscuring portions of the legend. |

| Reverse description | Multi-line Arabic inscription occupying the entire field, arranged in horizontal registers consistent with Ayyubid fals coinage conventions. The legend likely references the ruler's titles and religious formulae, including the name of al-Mansur Muhammad I. Script is executed in a cursive Naskh style typical of provincial Ayyubid copper issues. The flan is irregular with uneven surfaces and heavy patination, characteristic of hammered copper coinage of this period. Portions of the legend are partially obscured by surface encrustation. |
