| Reverse description | Reverse displays a multi-line Arabic Thuluth inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a rectangular cartouche framed by a beaded inner border and a double linear outer border, all set on an irregular hammered gold flan. The central field carries the titulature of the Saadian sultan Abd Allah al-Ghalib in four lines of bold, densely interlaced calligraphy. The inscription panel is well-centered relative to the flan, though the coin's irregular planchet results in partial legend loss at the margins. The overall style is consistent with Saadian Moroccan gold coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. |
