Reverse description Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription disposed in horizontal registers within a plain circular border, with a distinctive fan-shaped or palmette ornament visible at the upper portion of the field. The inscription contains the Islamic profession of faith (shahada) and Quranic citations standard to Almoravid fractional silver coinage. The flan edges are irregular and ragged, consistent with hand-cut hammered planchets. The relief is bold despite the small module of this qirat denomination.
