| Obverse description | Central field enclosed within a rectangular cartouche, bearing the Arabic mint inscription 'ضرب مراكش' (Struck in Marrakesh) in bold Maghrebi script arranged in two lines. The coin's flan is irregular and slightly broader than the die, with a beaded border partially visible along the coin's rim. The script is deeply struck with characteristic Saadian calligraphic style. |
