| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Kufic Arabic religious inscription arranged horizontally across the die, enclosed within a concentric border composed of an inner solid line, a beaded ring, and an outer solid line. A small six-pointed star or pellet ornament appears in the lower portion of the central field, separating the inscription lines. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, consistent with hammered gold coinage of the Taifa period. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Kufic Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, enclosed within a concentric border of solid-beaded-solid circles, partially visible given the irregular flan. The legends, typical of Taifa dinars, reference the ruler's titles and religious formulae. The hammered strike has produced an uneven surface with some areas of weakness, and the flan edges are jagged and clipped, characteristic of fractional gold coinage struck in Al-Andalus during the eleventh century. |
