| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a square cartouche with a double-lined border enclosing four lines of Kufic Arabic legend naming the caliph 'Abd al-Mu'min and his titles, along with the mint name and date formulae. The legend reads in horizontal registers within the square frame. An outer marginal inscription encircles the square cartouche along the coin's periphery. The design follows the standard Almohad square-in-circle format, with bold angular Kufic script. The flan is irregular, consistent with hammered manufacture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
'Abd al-Mu'min was the first caliph of the Almohad dynasty proper — a Berber soldier who rose through the movement founded by Ibn Tumart and, after Ibn Tumart's death around 1130, consolidated power to build an empire stretching from the Atlantic coast to Tripolitania. The Almohad monetary reform was deliberate and ideological: the square-in-circle gold coinage broke sharply from the debased Almoravid dinars it replaced, reflecting the movement's strict Maliki-inflected theology in material form.
The half dinar denomination saw considerable use in Andalusian trade circuits.
