| Obverse description | Densely inscribed field bearing multiple lines of Arabic Kufic script arranged concentrically and horizontally across the flan. The legend occupies virtually the entire surface, rendered in angular, stylized Kufic lettering characteristic of Almoravid coinage. The inscription includes religious formulae typical of the dynasty, with the mint name Meknes (مكناس) prominently featured. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of hammered production, with some weakness at the periphery. |
