| Reverse description | Irregular square flan with three horizontal lines of Arabic script occupying the central field, reading 'Allah is our Lord, Muhammad is our Messenger, al-Mahdi is our Imam.' The inscription is rendered in a simple Kufic-influenced hand without decorative borders or marginal legends, reflecting the distinctively plain and theologically focused design program of Almohad coinage. The surface shows typical die wear and uneven strike, with portions of the legend weakly impressed due to the irregular planchet. No mint name or date appears on this face. |
