| Obverse description | Central field displays the Sharifian seal of Morocco rendered in stylized Arabic calligraphic form, comprising interlaced foliate and serpentine elements arranged around a central cluster of four pellets. The design is framed above and below by horizontal rules, with a small rosette or star ornament at the top and a partial ornament at the lower right. The overall composition reflects the traditional Moorish artistic vocabulary characteristic of late 18th-century Moroccan coinage under Sultan Sidi Mohammed III. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination numeral '20' in large, bold Western-style Arabic numerals, flanked on either side by vertical rule bars, occupying the full central field. Above and below the numeral panel, horizontal rules frame the design, each accompanied by a small rosette or star ornament and flanking scroll devices. The reeded edge is clearly visible, and the overall design has the character of a European-influenced pattern striking, consistent with the experimental coinage produced for Morocco in this period. |
