| Obverse description | Irregular rectangular flan struck in copper, displaying a two-line Arabic legend in a plain field. The inscription reads 'ضرب بفاس' (Struck at Fas), arranged horizontally across the flan in a bold, informal Maghribi script characteristic of Moroccan hammered coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. The surfaces show natural patination with areas of green cuprite, consistent with age and burial. Flan edges are irregular, typical of hand-cut hammered issues from this period. |
