| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a six-pointed star (Seal of Solomon / Star of David), rendered in bold raised lines on a roughly textured flan typical of cast copper coinage. The star is set within a circular border, with the irregular surface and crude workmanship characteristic of Moroccan falus production of the early 19th century. The overall design is strongly geometric, with the star's interlaced triangles clearly distinguished despite the primitive casting technique. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Maghrebi script, densely distributed across the flan within a roughly circular border. The legend references the sultan Moulay Sulayman and the Hijri date AH 1220, along with the mint name Salé. The script is bold and deeply impressed relative to the crude flan, though the irregular casting surface lends the lettering an uneven relief characteristic of this series. |
