| Obverse description | Central field divided by a horizontal line, bearing multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in two registers within a circular border. The legends are boldly struck in relief against a flat field, characteristic of Taifa-period hammered billon fractional dirhams. The script is angular Kufic with pronounced uprights. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with slight metal flow at the edges, typical of low-denomination issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field carries a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription distributed across three registers, enclosed within a single circular border. The Kufic lettering is angular and clearly articulated despite the small flan, with interlinear spacing consistent with Andalusian taifa mint practice. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the rim, reflecting the hammered production technique. Overall fabric is consistent with the billon fractional issues of Hasan ibn Mujahid of Dénia, circa AH 430. |
