| Obverse description | Crudely hammered copper flan of irregular outline bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged within a plain inner circle, itself enclosed by a rope or beaded border. The field carries the mint formula in three lines of Maghribi script, reading 'ضرب بمدينة فاس' (Struck in the city of Fes), with pellet ornaments separating the lines. The surfaces show characteristic uneven strike pressure and flan irregularities consistent with Saadian hammered coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. |
