Obverse description Irregular hammered bronze flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the field, reading the mint name and partial royal attribution. The legends are arranged in stacked horizontal lines with no border ornament, typical of Saadian hammered copper coinage. The surface shows significant die wear and corrosion consistent with circulation and age. The flan edges are irregular, characteristic of hand-struck Moroccan falus of this period.
