| Obverse description | Central field displays the Arabic word 'Ahad' (meaning 'One', a reference to Divine Unity) rendered twice in bold hammered script, arranged in two lines within a circular inner border decorated with a toothed or serrated pattern. The Hijri date 1189 appears prominently in the lower portion of the field, composed of large Arabic numerals. Small star ornaments are interspersed around the field between the inscriptions and the inner border. The entire design is enclosed within a serrated outer border following the irregular square klippe flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a three-line Arabic mint legend in bold hammered calligraphy occupying the central field, reading 'Struck in Rabat al-Fath', the dynastic name for the city of Rabat. Small circular and dot ornaments separate the lines of text. The legend is contained within a toothed inner border, itself enclosed by a second serrated outer border that follows the contour of the irregular square klippe flan. The overall composition is characteristic of the Alaoui hammered coinage tradition of the 18th century. |
