| Obverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend distributed across the entire field in bold Maghrebi script. The inscription reads the Shahada and proclaims divine authority, with the mint name Meknes (مكناس) appearing in the lower portion of the field. The script is deeply struck in high relief, characteristic of Saadian hammered coinage, with no border or decorative framing elements. |
