| Obverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing a central Arabic legend disposed across multiple lines within the field, without a defined border. The inscription, reading 'There is no power but from Allah,' is rendered in a characteristic Maghribi calligraphic style typical of Alaouite dynasty coinage. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, though the irregular flan causes partial legends at the edges. The flat, granular field shows the characteristic texture of hammered production. No figurative devices, mint marks, or decorative borders are present. |

| Reverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend centered in the field, identifying the religious and political authority of the issuer. The inscription names Allah as God, Muhammad as Prophet, and al-Rashid as Imam, rendered in bold Maghribi calligraphic script consistent with Alaouite Sharifian coinage conventions of the period. The legend fills the majority of the flan, with little remaining field visible. The strike is characteristically uneven, with some areas of weakness at the periphery due to the irregular planchet. No decorative borders, mint marks, or figurative elements are present. |
