| Reverse description | The reverse presents an additional Arabic religious or dynastic legend in Maghrebi script, heavily worn and partially legible due to the struck flan's uneven surface. The inscription occupies the central field without a formal border, consistent with the minimalist aesthetic of Saadian dirhams of this period. The strike is off-center in places, a common characteristic of hammered coinage produced at Moroccan mints. No mint name or date is visible, as was typical for undated issues of Ahmad al-Mansur. The flan displays natural cracks and flow lines inherent to the hand-hammered technique. |
