| Reverse description | Square flan with a multi-line Arabic legend in raised Maghribi Kufic script filling the field across two registers. The inscription reads 'al-amru kulluhu lillahi wahdahu' followed by the mint name 'Sabtah' (Ceuta), all rendered in the bold, ornate calligraphic style typical of Almohad coinage. The lettering displays characteristic sweeping curves and interlocking strokes of the Almohad Kufic tradition. A plain border frames the inscription, conforming to the roughly square shape of the planchet. The surface retains good relief with dark patination settling in the recesses of the script. |
